I was near a lake. I pondered and thought of how similar modern man's condition is to Gilgamesh'; though we are not aspiring immortality, we in a way are pursuing immortality. Billionaires do so by making more money. Some women buy anti-aging products. Neighbors congratulate each others achievements, and try to outdo each other simultaneously. A Lexus is not enough, may be a Bentley. It seems the whisper is losing grip amidst the powerful winds in our secular world of "courteous gradation".
Augustus dediticum.
