Seven Questions
to
the Third King of Uruk
did the Gods ever offer its beautiful
wisdom to the insects of the earth, or did the human being decide to just plunder
and pillage it with all the bruteness of her animal?
and did Shamhat ever offer her beautiful
body in lust, or did Enkidu decide to ravage it forcibly with all the power of
his animal?
did You, Gilgamesh ever visit the cedar
forest or did Humbaba only exist as a figment of phantasmagoria nurtured in the
composture of your fears, blooming then by force only of your own lively
fantasy?
did You, Gilgamesh ever visit the palace
of Anu or did your weakness actually put an end to it all before you even
reached the gates of it?
Did you then lie and deceive out of
weakness and embarrassment, or can I trust your heart was pure?
Did you not merely have the myth and cult
of personality transform you into a hero-king as fundamental as the highest
Gods in the very mythology with had you solidified in immortality?
Or can I continue to bow at your feet in
adoration without making myself a fool?
