"Gilgamesh, what you seek you will never find. For when the Gods created Man they let death be his lot, eternal life they withheld. Let your every day be full of joy, love the child that holds your hand, let your wife delight in your embrace, for these alone are the concerns of humanity."
shareI think it is the epic of Gilgamesh - you could find it in excellent translation at any good book store, I imagine, or they could order it for you. Or the internet, of course,
George... don't do that!
I have had this book for years, didn't know the correct pronunciation! Interesting to hear it read. Wonderful show.
