The Ancient Modern
Aeternus Adventus / Joshua Alan Sturgill
Man is expulsion
Woman, bereavement
Man is Adam and Eve exiled
Woman, Eden left empty
Man is remembrance
Woman, memory
Man is extension
Woman, embrace
Far-flown periphery
Fading center
Roofless altar
Looted temple
Make ready, O Bethlehem
Prepare, O Ephratha
Consummation
Return
Ark of the Covenant
Manna, Branch and Law
Woman is the music
Man, the lyric poetry
Woman is the clay
Man, the new eyes
Woman is the unwritten page
Man, the primal Word
Paradise through Woman
Immortality through Man
The Tree of life blossoms forth in the Cave
Whereof eating, we shall live and not die
