Sisyphus, My Brother.
Sisyphus, my brother. This rock you push is a great weight to bear. It is too much and too little. / What is this Rock? / Sisyphus, my brother. Who can speak to you of toil? Who can claim your lack of will to be your restraint? That same rock to be pushed and rolled for time immortal is all that you have known. The rock is all your focus, all your desire. It is the world to you, in one indifferent globe. You have no thought of food, nor drink, nor rest, or other pleasures of this life. You know only your task and your object. The hill is of no consequence. The days spin past without you taking notice. Time is of no consequence.
