"The life you're looking for you'll never find.
For when the gods made man,
Death is what they reserved for him, saving life for themselves."
"This is my house:
where food is not eaten,
where drink is not drunk,
where seats are not sat in,
where beds are not made,
where jars lie empty,
and cups are overturned,
where harps no longer vibrate
and tunes no longer sing.
This is my house:
without a husband,
without a child,
without even
me."
A Epopeia de Gilgamesh
