The garden of Eden with the fall of man, by Peter Paul Rubens and Jan Brueghel the Elder

Theology

“No, the serpent did not
Seduce Eve to the apple.
All that’s simply
Corruption of the facts.

The serpent ate Eve.

The serpent, meanwhile,
Sleeps his meal off in Paradise —
Smiling to hear
God’s querulous calling.”
