17 Jul 22 UTC Spring, 1901: Good luck everyone!
17 Jul 22 UTC Spring, 1901: Let's have some fun.
17 Jul 22 UTC Spring, 1901: Hello all! Good luck and have fun!

I just wanted to share a passage from the Epic of Gilgamesh that I came across this morning and is breathtakingly gorgeous - I hope it moves you as it has moved me:

O Gilgamesh, where are you wandering?
The life that you seek you never will find:
when the gods created mankind,
death they dispensed to mankind,
life they kept for themselves.
But you, Gilgamesh, let your belly be full,
enjoy yourself always by day and by night!
Make merry each day,
dance and play day and night!
Let your clothes be clean,
let your head be washed, may you bathe in water!
Gaze on the child who holds your hand,
let your wife enjoy your repeated embrace!
For such is the destiny [of mortal men].
