Text Appearing with the Image:
Eve offered me the apple: I did eat!

Were not her lips the stern-forbidden fruit That flowered on her slender body's tree? And could a bough resist the sun? Her lips apart, Her young breasts lifted like a twin-formed heart That beats toward its desire, swift-lidded eyes To hide the shyness of a girl, to rise From the full glory of a woman's gaze — Such offering Eve's new-born beauty was: Damp clay, so molded by the hands of God, And lips whose fragrance is His breath on sod. Ah, not to touch them, Adam, would blaspheme Eden itself and its most living dream! Bend gently, Earth's First Lover that did dare Forbidden fruit. To her sweet mouth now bear The wondrous taste of sin she doth demand. Remember with what ecstasy she leaned The fullness of her beauty to thy lips, And know it is a chalice thy love sips Into profanity.

And yet I think Thou wouldst have sinned more deeplv — not to drink!'
