Does anyone know where, when or how this saying originated? My friend used the expression recently in a conversation and although I know what it means I've been wondering ever since about its origin. Looking forward to some clues.

The moving finger writes; And having writ, Moves on: nor all your Piety nor Wit Shall lure it back to cancel half a Line Nor all your Tears Wash out a Word of it. Omar Khayam
