Adam to Eve.

Non-Dramatic British Literature of the 17th Century. Who would have thought it was such a funny class? Or that studying "Paradise Lost" for an entire semester would continue to be interesting?

"Honey, you have a gaping hole inside of you, I see that- but don’t' worry- there'll be kids, there'll be wallpaper, and, and...soccer games."


-Professor Acheson's rendering of Adam's comfort to Eve (upon her coming to terms with being last in the hierarchy of heaven.) in Milton's "Paradise Lost."

Funny thing is, I feel like the church has told me this, a lot.
