lines from the epic of gilgamesh that make me feel like this
- “You will take him in your arms, embrace and caress him the way a man caresses his wife. He will be your double, your second self.”
- “‘Gilgamesh, save me, save me!’ I cried. But you didn’t save me. You were afraid and you didn’t come.”
- “You who have walked beside me, steadfast through so many dangers, remember me, never forget what I have endured.”
- “But I cannot see you, you have not come to fight off this danger. Yet weren’t we to remain forever inseparable, you and I?”
- “Beloved, wait, don’t leave me. Dearest of men, don’t die, don’t let them take you from me.”
- “I will mourn as long as I breathe, I will sob for him like a woman who has lost her only child.”
- “For six days I would not let him be buried, thinking, ‘If my grief is violent enough, perhaps he will come back to life again.’“
- “I will cross the vast ocean if I can. If not, I will roam the wilderness in my grief.”
- “Now let the gate of sorrow be closed behind me, let it be sealed shut with tar and pitch.”
- “I imagined that you would look like a god. But you look like me, you are not any different.”
