“Darwin may have been quite correct.."

"..in his theory that man descended from the apes of the forest, but surely woman rose from the frothy sea, as resplendent as Aphrodite on her scalloped chariot.”

 

(Margo Datz - A Survival Guide for Landlocked Mermaids)

 

It's a bit of a miracle that the two ever met, much less came to depend on one another - man and woman.. Coming from such different places. But it would help explain some of the differences between the sexes. Perhaps mean don't really come from Mars, and women don't come from Venus.. It's just that they spring from different ancestry..

 

One thing they are likely to agree on, is that a daybed like this one, adrift on the shore should bear a woman in a flowing, diaphanous gown, fluttering in the ocean breeze that tugs at her tresses and at her soul..
