Excerpt from Rosetti Poem, "Body's Beauty":

Of Adam's first wife, Lilith, it is told
(The Witch he loved before the gift of Eve.)
That, ere the snake's, her sweet tongue could deceive,
And her enchanted hair was the first gold.
And still she sits, young while the earth is old,
And subtly of herself contemplative,
Draws men to watch the bright web she can weave

Hello Again!

We disappeared for sometime! It was a combination of things. We both started new jobs, we planned a wedding, got married and went on a honeymoon, and then the holidays struck! But we plan to be back consistently now and hope to get back on track with the podcast. Including using all the social media platforms more often.
