Eve Gives Adam Life

"When Eve saw her co-likeness cast down, she pitied him, and she said, ‘Adam, live! Rise up on the earth!’ Immediately her word became a deed… Adam rose up [and] he opened his eyes. When he saw her, he said, ‘You will be called ‘the mother of the living’ because you are the one who gave me life.’"

(On the Origin of the World, from Willis Barnstone’s The Other Bible, p. 70, pub. A.D. 1984)
