From Stuart…

The Silent Eye

*

When the people of Uruk rebel against the tyranny of Gilgamesh,

they petition the Gods…

*

Hearing their plea the Goddess, Aruru, fashions the twin of Gilgamesh

from the clay of her heart

and sets him loose in the wilderness

where he lives and runs with wild animals…

*

Then Aruru sends Gilgamesh a dream.

*

Although vivid the dream is obscure to Gilgamesh

so he seeks an interpretation from his mother, the Goddess Ninsun…

*

In this dream Enkidu, the wild man, is likened to a boulder

which falls to earth from the sky.

*

The people of Uruk adore this fallen sky-stone

and treat it as though it were a divine-child.
