SIR ROGER CHARLES DOUGHTY TICHBORNE, BARONET. _You horrid butcher, Orton, biggest rascal here._ A'NAH, granddaughter of Cain and sister of Aholiba'mah. Japhet loved her, but she had set her heart on the seraph Azaz'iel, who carried her off to another planet when the Flood came.--Byron, _Heaven and Earth_. Anah and Aholibamah are very different characters: Anah is soft, gentle, and submissive; her sister is proud, imperious, and aspiring; the one loving in fear, the other in ambition. She fears that her love makes her "heart grow impious," and that she worships the seraph rather than the Creator.--Ed. Lytton Bulwer (Lord Lytton).
