Stake attention in this memory
The image captures a weathered, peeling wooden door or window frame, likely part of an old building, adorned with several handwritten and hand-drawn signs. The scene is illuminated by daylight. Through an opening to the left, intricate metalwork and a distant green bottle can be seen, hinting at an alleyway or courtyard in Tbilisi, Georgia. Three signs are prominently displayed on the wooden frame. The topmost sign is a white sheet of paper featuring a quote in Russian attributed to "ОМАР ХАЙЯМ" (Omar Khayyam). The text translates to: "God gives, God takes - that's all there is to say. What for what - remains a mystery to us. How much to live, how much to drink - they measure by eye, and they try not to pour enough each time." Alongside the text are small illustrations of a blue pointy hat, a feather, and a rolled scroll. Below this, a second, aged paper sign is visible. On its left, there's a hand-drawn black-and-white portrait of a bearded man wearing a distinctive cap, likely Omar Khayyam himself. The right side of this sign contains text in Georgian, which includes phrases like "No one will challenge/compete with us. Even the dead will laugh." The lowest sign is another white paper, with a third hand-drawn portrait on the left, similar in style to the one above, depicting another historical figure. The right side features large, bold red letters spelling "КНИГИ" (BOOKS), followed by smaller red text directing: "проходите от лестницы справа" (go from the staircase on the right), accompanied by a red arrow pointing right, indicating direction to a bookstore or a book-related area. The overall impression is one of a charming, possibly bohemian, establishment with a philosophical and literary bent, inviting passersby with wisdom and clear directions.
