"If I tell you the way things are in the netherworld,
You will be sitting there weeping [...] The penis that when you felt it, you were thrilled,
That penis is there like a rotten timber, vermin eat it. The sweet spot that you said of it, “Where is it? Let me at it!” That sweet spot is there like a crack in parched ground, full of dust.
“Woe is me!" cried the lord, he sat down in the dust."

tiffany omg what was the comparison

"Of the many merits of Emily Vermeule’s 1975 Sather Lectures,
Aspects of Death in Early Greek Art and Poetry,3 not the least was the inclusion among her illustrations of the old Charlie Brown strip showing Snoopy lying at the entrance to his doghouse, under a huge icicle, and fearing imminent death, saying to himself with ever increasing emphasis, “I don’t want to die. I’m too young to die.
I’m too nice to die. I’m too ME to die.” Of what Snoopy speaks we all surely know, and how often have we not said to ourselves essentially the same thing. And for the same reason we sympathize with the terrified Gilgamesh who felt very much “too me to die”, and in him we recognize the very prototype of the ego’s massive resistance to the prospect of death and extinction."

simply iconic behaviour!!
