Explore "To Man" by Charlotte Perkins Gilman on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
In dark and early ages, through the primal forests faring, / Ere the soul came shining into prehistoric night, / Two-fold man was equal; they were comrades dear and daring, / Living wild and free together in unreasoning delight.
Ere the soul was born and consciousness came slowly, / Ere the soul was born, to man and woman too, / Ere he found the Tree of Knowledge, that awful tree and holy, / Ere he knew he felt, and knew he knew.
