Re: Pick a Book Beside You Game
Page 59 of Pritchard's Ancient Near Eastern Texts - an excerpt from the Epic of Gilgamesh:
On the road from which there is no way back,
To the house wherein the dwellers are bereft of light,
Where dust is their fare and clay is their food,
They are clothed like birds, with wings for garments,
And see no light, residing in darkness,
In the House of Dust, which I entered,
I looked at rulers, their crowns were put away;
I saw princes, those born to the crown,
Who had ruled the land from the days of yore.
These doubles of Anu and Enlil were serving meat roasts;
They were serving bake meat and pouring cool water from the waterskins.
