In still waters of the lake
But do not look at her directly

Time to sow herbs:
“In March & in April from morning to night
In sowing & setting good housewives delight,
To have in a garden or other like plot
To physic their house, or to furnish their pot.”

A favourite poet's simple lines for children:

‘Bread and milk for breakfast,
And woollen frocks to wear,
And a crumb for robin redbreast,
On the cold days of the year.’
(🖊️Christina Rossetti 🎨 Walter Crane)

LILITH
In rabbinic texts Adam's first wife - created his equal - who fled Eden refusing subservience.
Demonised for defying patriarchy.
Vilified for insolent independence.
Feared for her innate feminine power.
So it began.
