   • 1981, William Irwin Thompson, The Time Falling Bodies Take to Light: Mythology, Sexuality and the Origins of Culture, London: Rider/Hutchinson & Co., page 168:

     For example, the Sumerologist Jacobsen places the poem in which the young Inanna, still a maiden in puberty, asks a court musician to help her compose a poem to her vulva, in the middle of the cycle, at a point in time when she is recalling the early days when she first chose Dumuzi as her spouse; yet in the poem she is clearly inquiring who will become her lover, and so I place it as part of the beginning: a poem about the virginal Inanna in meditation on the mysteries of her own vulva.
