On the other hand, Robert E. Howard's attitude toward the gods can be summed up by _this_ quote: Oh, Jezebel, oh, Jezebel, They hurled you from the wall, And all the priests and prudes of Israel Gave thanks to see you fall. But I could laugh with Jezebel, And kiss her on the lips, And strip the scarf from off her breasts, The girdle from her hips. For I forswear Elijah, Forget that Adam fell, To press the waist of Lilith And laugh with Jezebel.
