Before closing for the night, we notice yet another Biblical quotation that we seem not to have noted before. Ingeborg, former prostitute, now kept woman, tells a merwoman:
"'...we on the land bear the curse of Eve. How often I've heard told me the word of God - "in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee" -'" (p. 218)
No. Not every scripture is true for all time.

Adam did not escape punishment, see Genesis 3.17-19.

Here's another bit of Scripture, John 16.21: "A woman about to give birth has sorrow, because her hour has come. But when she has brought forth the child, she no longer remembers the anguish for her joy that a man is born into the world."
Ad astra! Sean
