Before Eve turned into...
‘Evil’
...or evil tempted Eve.
She and Adam,
innocent,
played amongst its leaves?
A sage could say they were the same,
parts of some degree,
Say so as they will about the double-tree?
For life and knowledge go
'hand-in-hand,'
..which wife and husband weave.
Traditional rhyme.
All myth is based on observable celestial phenomena. As language has progressed and mankind has become more complex they take on a more modern character from each successive cultural interpretation. The original man was earth and the sun/sky was his consort.
Husband provides life, Wife provides knowledge.
