Hello,
The sentence I'd like to ask is from a novel "Farewell Summer" written by Ray Bradbury.
---quote---
Grandma stepped into her pantry and felt the wind blowing from the west.
The yeast was rising in the bowl, a sumptuous head, the head of an alien rising from the yield of other years. She touched the swell beneath the muslin cap.
It was the earth on the morn before the arrival of Adam.
It was the morn after the marrage of Eve to that stranger in the garden bed.
---unquote----
Does "stranger" mean Adam?
I wonder why he suddenly mentioned about Adam and Eve after describing the atmosphere of the pantry.
Thank you,
Tara
