Quotes by Sophus Helle (?)

“Give me your blessing! Then I will go.
Unharmed may I see your faces again,
triumphant may I step through Uruk’s gate.

“When I return, I will hold New Year twice,
from now I will always hold New Year twice.
Let us celebrate the festival, let us sing in joy,
let the drums thunder for Ninsun!”
― Sophus Helle, The Epic of Gilgamesh

Døden sidder i mit soveværelse,
og hvor jeg end vender mig hen, er døden”
