A quote I like and resonate with from the Epic of Gilgamesh (the oldest tale ever written!).
There's not many ancient representations of Siduri.
Hopefully what I drew is not too disgraceful.

You will never find the eternal life that you seek.
Humans are born, they live, then they die, this is the order that the gods have decreed. But until the end comes, enjoy your life, spend it in happiness, not despair. Savor your food, make each of your days a delight, bathe and anoint yourself, wear bright closes that are sparkling clean, let music and dancing fill your house, love the child who holds you by the hand, and give your wife pleasure in your embrace.
That is the best way for a man to live.
