bilby commented on the word gossipmonger
I must confess
the angels were equally beautiful,
but their splendor
had a juvenile, melancholy air of naïveté.
My beloved Eve did not like them.
She thought them to be gossipmongers,
spying on us day and night
through the branches of the trees
and from beneath the rocks.
- Abbas Saffari, 'Our Story', translated from the Persian by Elham Rassi.
