" Then said the gods: “Let Us make one to seek, to seek and never to find out concerning the wherefore of the making of the gods.” And They made by the lifting of Their hands, each god according to his sign, the Bright One with the flaring tail to seek from the end of the Worlds to the end of them again, to return again after a hundred years. Man, when thou seest the comet, know that another seeketh besides thee nor ever findeth out. "
