I forgot to mention that Robert Graves also argued that poetry, as a whole, had lost its moorings since mystery has pretty much been removed from the human condition. That's a pretty bold statement, but he was making a point about how science has thrown mystery out with the proverbial bath water. Mystery being a valuable baby in his mind.

More on mystegogues later. I have to go to the Oriental Market.

1. Pomegranates seem to have special significance according to Robert Graves, but I've already dealt with that (q.v. I don't know where) but my claims that it was the pomegranate was the "forbidden fruit" are invalidated since it was more likely the fruit of the tree of life. Now that makes sense with the connection with Persephone and the thantotic/erotic myths she is hooked to. Adam and Even, if allowed to find immortality in the tree of life would, as Graves put it, be allowed to continue their follow in perpetua.
2. Graves pointed out that the decalogue, or the Ten Commandments spelled out the 8 letter name of God.
3. Graves so claims that Ezekiel is the patron of patriarchal religion in the West.

Is there a resolution to knowledge and immortality? Would modern medicine (science) provide the route to immortality? Does not modern science, despite its anti-mystery stance produce more mysteries since the initiation period (that is study) is much longer? For that matter, why do we humans seek after mystery, and then understanding said mystery, try to keep the secret to ourselves?

This is a fragment.

This is a mystery.

Ask not.

How does that shake your bells?
