Excerpt from Notes for the Nile: Together With a Metrical Rendering of the Hymns of Ancient Egypt and of the Precepts of Ptah-Hotep (the Oldest Book in the World) A Return To Egypt There is a land where Time no count can keep, Where works of men imperishable seem, Where through death's barren solitude doth gleam Undying hope for them that sow and reap: Yea, land of life where death is but a deep Warm slumber, a communicable dream, Where from the silent grave far voices stream Of those who tell their secrets in their sleep. Land of the palm-tree and the pyramid, Land of sweet waters from a mystic urn, Land of sure rest where suns shine on for ever, I left thee - in thy sands a heart was hid, My life, my love, were cast upon thy river. And, lo! I to seek Osiris I return. H. D. R. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
