TO A FAR OFF DAY

Written in the 'Epic of Gilgamesh' by a scribe of Uruk in ancient Sumeria:

Through the shifting sands of time, the ancient cities and wall are covered by the sands and winds. Many thousands of years have passed.

"To a far off day
On a far off night
In a far off time...............

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
With the child that holds your hand.
Let your wife delight in your embrace,
Fore these alone are the concerns of humanity"
