Khayyam and Lorca are the two outstanding poets who could skillfully put the feelings into words. The inner turbulence of both poets has made death, which is the essence of their thoughts, to play the main role in their poems. Their feelings, challenges and reactions toward death have been directly or indirectly reflected in their poems.
