	I think Fitzgerald is regarded as having so paraphrased the Rubaiyat that
he is virtually the author of his "translation." That may be all that Wolfe
had in mind.
	Of course, at the front of Shadow-Torturer is a quotation from Isaac Watts
that is actually just a paraphrastic translation of Psalm 90.
