-Gilgamesh, The Epic of GilgameshGilgamesh opened his mouth and answered glorious Ishtar, ‘If I take you in marriage, what gifts can I give in return?
What ointments and clothing for your body? I would gladly give you bread and all sorts of food fit for a god. I would give
you wine to drink fit for a queen. I would pour out barley to stuff your granary; but as for making you my wife - that I will
not. How would it go with me? Your lovers have found you like a brazier which smoulders in the cold, a backdoor which
keeps out neither squall of wind nor storm, a castle which crushes the garrison, pitch that blackens the bearer, a water-skin
that chafes the carrier, a stone which falls from the parapet, a battering-ram turned back from the enemy, a sandal that trips
the wearer. Which of your lovers did you ever love forever?
-A character named Ryan in Country Calling (The Shangri-la Trilogy Book 1) (p. 51, Kindle Edition) by Winsome Board.“Don’t take too long, lad. Weigh it up, then decide. Nothing like a long period of indecision to create stress. Then you’re no good to anyone.”
If Winter comes, can Spring be far behind?
