ADAM

And you are one of these pure spirits ?

LUCIFER

Indeed I am, the mightiest of the mighty,
Who stood beside the throne of God
And had a portion of his great effulgence
.........
ADAM

But God said He would punish us
If we should stray from our appointed path.

EVE

Why should he punish us? If He has set
The path we are to follow, surely He
Will have arranged that we can choose no other.
Why leave us standing above the deep,
Dizzy and abandoned to our doom?
Or If sin too is part of His design
As storms are of hot days,
Why blame the roll of thunder more
Than heat which gives us life?

LUCIFER

I see we have our first philosopher.
You are the first of many, my fair sister,
Who'll argue the same point a million ways.
A few of them will end their days in bedlam.
Others stop short, but none will find a refuge.
Do put aside this futile speculation,
There are so many fine shades of opinion
On every issue that if you try them all
You end up knowing less than when you started
Without a hope of reaching a conclusion.
Contemplation means the death of action.

EVE

In that case I will pluck the fruit.

ADAM

The Lord has put His curse on them.

LUCIFER laughs

BUT pluck.

Whatever happens to us, let it happen.

Let us be wise, like God.

First Eve, then Adam taste of the apple
