Lilith & Eve
A few months ago, I was invited to speak at Dr. Sharon Mar Adams’ “Women and Religion” course at University of Colorado at Boulder. I gave my spiel: John Milton is complicated, Paradise Lost’s Eve practically rewrites herself, and…Lilith?
Despite Paradise Lost’s Eve having nothing to do with Lilith, it’s a common question I receive: Isn’t an empowered Eve just Lilith?
In my Paradise Lost retelling,

| Yes! Turney writes from being alive. She renders those loud, vivid moments back, and we were there once too. Those versions of ourselves we forgot to keep. | |

| Lelito guides us to notice the patterns of the bark and the birds, the way we are transformed inside by seeing. How we can heal in what we observe. Too much of nature is unseen and unfelt! Lelito guides us to look, and it's intimate: the stories thes ...more | |

“The best portion of a good man's life: his little, nameless unremembered acts of kindness and love.”
― Lyrical Ballads
― Lyrical Ballads
“The world is too much with us; late and soon,
Getting and spending, we lay waste our powers;
Little we see in Nature that is ours;
We have given our hearts away, a sordid boon!
This Sea that bares her bosom to the moon,
The winds that will be howling at all hours,
And are up-gathered now like sleeping flowers,
For this, for everything, we are out of tune;
It moves us not.—Great God! I'd rather be
A Pagan suckled in a creed outworn;
So might I, standing on this pleasant lea,
Have glimpses that would make me less forlorn;
Have sight of Proteus rising from the sea;
Or hear old Triton blow his wreathed horn.”
― The Major Works

“For I have learned to look on nature, not as in the hour of thoughtless youth; but hearing oftentimes the still, sad music of humanity.”

“Very few beings really seek knowledge in this world. Mortal or immortal, few really ask. On the contrary, they try to wring from the unknown the answers they have already shaped in their own minds -- justifications, confirmations, forms of consolation without which they can't go on. To really ask is to open the door to the whirlwind. The answer may annihilate the question and the questioner.”
