“Little Alice fell

the hOle,
bumped her head
and bruised her soul.”
ALICE’S ADVENTURES IN WONDERLAND, LEWIS CARROLL
Mephistopheles: That’s Lilith.
Faust: Who?
Mephistopheles: First wife to Adam.
Pay attention to her lovely hair,
The only adornment she need wear.
When she traps a young man in her snare,
She won’t soon let him from her care.
