Marriage, which has been the bourne of so many narratives, is still a great beginning, as it was to adam and eve, who kept their honey-moon in eden, but had their first little one among the thorns and thistles of the wilderness. it is still the beginning of the home epic - the gradual conquest or irremediable loss of that complete union which make the advancing years a climax, and age the harvest of sweet memories in common.

Marriage, Which Has Been The Bourne Of

George Eliot

Marriage, which has been the bourne of so many narratives, is still a great beginning, as it was to adam and eve, who kept their honey-moon in eden, but had their first little one among the thorns and thistles of the wilderness. it is still the beginning of the home epic - the gradual conquest or irremediable loss of that complete union which make the advancing years a climax, and age the harvest of sweet memories in common.

More From George Eliot

I've learned a lot about women. i think i've learned exactly how the fall of man occured in the garden of eden. adam and eve were in the garden of eden, and adam said one day, wow, eve, here we are, at one with nature, at one with god, we'll never age, we'll never die, and all our dreams come true the instant that we have them. and eve said, yeah... it's just not enough is it?

The bible is the story of two gardens: eden and gethsemane. in the first, adam took a fall. in the second, jesus took a stand. in the first, god sought adam. in the second, jesus sought god. in eden, adam hid from god. in gethsemane, jesus emerged from the tomb. in eden, satan led adam to a tree that led to his death. from gethsemane, jesus went to a tree that led to our life.

So where does the name adam's apple come from? most people say that it is from the notion that this bump was caused by the forbidden fruit getting stuck in the throat of adam in the garden of eden. there is a problem with this theory because some hebrew scholars believe that the forbidden fruit was the pomegranate. the koran claims that the forbidden fruit was a banana. so take your pick---adam's apple, adam's pomegranate, adam's banana. eve clearly chewed before swallowing.

The gods were bored and so they created man. adam was bored because he was alone, so eve was created. thus boredom entered the world, and increased in proportion to the increase in population. adam was bored alone, then adam and eve were bored together; them adam and eve and cain and abel were bored en famille; then the population of the world increased, and the people were bored en masse.

Adam and eve - and especially eve - are victims of the greatest character assassination the world has ever known. eve is not secondary. eve, if anything, is the great initiator in the story. she's the first independent woman. for me, rediscovering that eve was the greatest bad**s women of all time was a revelation.

May this marriage be blessed.may this marriage be as sweet as milk and honey.may this marriage be as intoxicating as old wine.may this marriage be fruitful like a date tree.may this marriage be full of laughter and everyday a paradise.may this marriage be a seal of compassion for here and hereafter.may this marriage be as welcome as the full moon in the night sky.listen lovers, now you go on, as i become silent and kiss this blessed night.

‎interdependence is a fundamental law of nature. even tiny insects survive by mutual cooperation based on innate recognition of their interconnectedness. it is because our own human existence is so dependent on the help of others that our need for love lies at the very foundation of our existence. therefore we need a genuine sense of responsibility and a sincere concern for the welfare of others.

I regard as a mortal sin not only the lying of the senses in matters of love, but also the illusion which the senses seek to create where love is only partial. i say, i believe, that one must love with all of one's being, or else live, come what may, a life of complete chastity.

Love is rarely flawless,” carter pointed out. “humans delude themselves by thinking it has to be. it is the imperfection that makes love perfect.
