Eve’s Diary


by Mark Twain (1835-1910)


Eve’s Diary is a humorous monologue about
Eve’s experiences at the dawn of creation. She is fascinated by
every aspect of the new world around her and… Adam! The
following is an extract from Adam:


“She is all interest, eagerness, vivacity, the world is to her
a charm, a wonder, a mystery, a joy; she can’t speak for delight
when she finds a new flower, she must pet it and caress it and smell it
and talk to it…. And she is color-mad: brown rocks, yellow sand,
gray moss, green foliage, blue sky…none of them is of any
practical value, so far as I can see, but because they have color and
majesty, that is enough for her, and she loses her mind over
them…. If there is anything on the planet that she is not
interested in, it is not in my list.”


(Summary by Esther)
