To test his strength against meteorite and axe
To embrace them as he would a wife
But all this does nothing.

Nothing is done that cannot be undone
His arts are not enough for this contest
He seeks the wisdom of his mother

Who reads such signs
Who is wise in interpretation and understanding
Who twists the cords of his dreams
Into a meaningful rope that can be used

"A great force has been let loose
A new power has entered the world and takes the shape of a man-
Embrace him as you would your wife and all will be well
This is something that you can use"

The story continues-
Enkidu learning the skills of men
Enkidu learning the language of men
Enkidu learning all that he can

Yes, forces are on the move
Myth has entered history and will not be denied
Action moves towards consequence
The inevitable is about to happen

The dreams have passed
Now it is a festival
Gilgamesh demands the right of prima nochta
(You see where this is leading?
You see the sort of man we are dealing with here?)
The inevitable is about to happen
Enkidu enters the city

When a force meets its equal
There is either conflict or amity
When a force meets its opposite
It must either subdue or accept its mirror self

But Enkidu will not bow down
He will oppose
He blocks the bridal room and forces the king to fight

There are myths within myths and stories within stories
There are episodes within all stories which are stories in themselves-
Such is the way of this episode in which the king and the beast
Face each other and fight
