Four thousand years ago, an Egyptian wrote out his despair onto papyrus in the form of a narrative and four short-versed poems. This document, now in the Berlin Museum, is thought to by british psychiatrist Chris Thomas to be the first suicide note extant. “The Dispute with His Soul of One Who is Tired of Life,” translated in 1896:
Lo, my name is abhorred, Lo, more than the odour of carrion On summer days when the sky is hot.
Lo, my name is abhorred, Lo, more than the odour of crocodiles, More than sitting under the bank of croco
Lo, my name is abhorred, Lo, more than a woman Against whom a lie is told her husband.
To whom do I speak today? He that hath a contented countenance is bad, Good is disregarded in every place. To whom do I speak today? Brothers are evil, A man is treated as an enemy in spite of a righteous disposition. To whom do I speak today? There are none that are righteous, The earth is given over to the workers of iniquity. To whom do I speak today? The sin that smiteth the land, It hath no end.
Death is before me today As the odour of myrrh, As when one sitteth under the sail on a windy day.
Death is before me today As the odour of lotus flowers, As when one sitteth on the shore of drunkenness.
Death is before me today As a man longs to see his house When he has spent years in captivity.
