From the program notes:
Love, it has been said, does not obey the rules of
love but yields to some more ancient
and ruder law. The Garden of Love seeems always
to be threatened by the Stranger's knowledge of the world
outside and by the old knowledge of those like Lilith
(according to legend, Adam's wife before Eve) who lived there
first.
