I am going to go with it was inspired by lack of sleep and a love of peaches. As for the devil bit, how can you be fairrly certain that it is not Satan or rather, the satan. It says like 6 times (I think... I am working or I would look it up... but I know it is around there) that there is the Satan and only one time does it actually call him (as in the devil, the adversary of God, etc). My point is, when we are reading about the garden of Eden, please correct me if I am wrong, it simply describes the serpent. But it says other mentions about the qualities and it makes sense that through the years that the serpent, causing as much havoc as the Satan, that they would give it (the serpent) the title. At this point, it is all long dead mythos and I learned it while I was in Baptist school as a kid. You almost sound as though I am the only one to mention the connection. Those are the long answers. I believe the shorter answer could have simply been, "poetic license". :) Thanks for the comment! Happy Sunday <3 I am working on some less creative works so check back in soon. I have one about the birth of women in the bible coming out soon that is a bit of art and a bit of writing.
