"The Moving Finger writes: and, having writ, Moves on: nor all thy Piety nor Wit Shall lure it back to cancel Half a Line, Nor all thy Tears wash out A Word of it." This line originates in E. Fitzgerald's translation of the poem The Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyam, 1859:
"The Moving Finger writes:
and, having writ,
Moves on: nor all thy Piety
nor Wit
Shall lure it back to cancel
Half a Line,
Nor all thy Tears wash out
A Word of it."
