Adam And Eve In Our Time
Song Of Solomon In Old Age
Eve: “I don’t care though you say a thousand times that you can’t love me and accuse, blame me that I tie you up and don’t give you your freedom. How I still want to stay with you though every another time you chase me away. Can’t you see, feel? Now kiss me, to make up for all the wrongs you did to me without reason.”
Adam: “Were I ashamed would I extract my teeth that are still left, make me nice artificial teeth and paint my hair black. I’m grateful for them, having served me so well for more than 80 years.
“Could you know that one day I would look like as a scare-crow, would you then marry me? Wouldn’t you regret it? It would be a shame were I to cover, hide my poor, old appearance to deceive you. And what is it worth if you just loved me, were I young, handsome, you were faithful just because you feared of what is said that ‘what God has united, no man ever should separate?’
“Now, kiss me if you aren’t sorry of having married me.”
