That is to say, it was a philosophy inborn in theEgyptian, --a part of his nature.
Imhotep, the famous philosopher of Dynasty III. , about B. C. 3000, saidto his disciples: "Behold the dwellings of the dead. Their walls falldown, their place is no more; they are as though they had neverexisted"; and he drew from this the lesson that man is soon done withand forgotten, and that therefore his life should be as happy aspossible. To Imhotep must be attributed the earliest known exhortationto man to... resign himself to his candle-end of a life, and to theinevitable snuffing-out to come, and to be merry while yet he may. Thereis a poem, dating from about B. C. 2000, from which the following istaken:-- "Walk after thy heart's desire so long as thou livest. Put myrrh on thy head, clothe thyself in fine linen, anoint thyself with the true marvels of God.... Let not thy heart concern itself, until there cometh to thee that great day of lamentation. Yet he who is at rest can hear not thy complaint, and he who lies in the tomb can understand not thy weeping.
