Luckily for Adam, Eve appears: \"O wonder, there before Adam, as if it were both him and not him, was another Being very similar to him, only more slender and covered with a more silken down, and who was regarding him with wide, lustrous, liquid eyes... And slowly, gently rubbing its bare knees together, the whole of this silken, tender Being was offering itself up in astonished, lascivious submission. It was Eve... It was you, O Venerable Mother!\" \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut still we must pity poor Adam and Eve: \"Our Parents' tireless, desperate efforts were devoted entirely to surviving in the midst of a Nature that was ceaselessly, furiously plotting their destruction.
