Excerpt from The Ethic of Nature: And Its Practical Bearings The old fashion way of picturing the state of our first parents in Eden had a charming naïvete about it. The artists used to represent the innocent pair in a trimly kept garden, which reflected credit on the taste and skill of Adam. Trees, shrubs, and flower-beds, with intersecting paths, were artistically arranged. From the number and variety of animals roaming about, the artist's idea might have been taken from a zoological garden, only there were no ugly cages and dens in which to confine the guile less companions of man. It was a happy family group in which the peace of the primeval Sabbath seemed to rest like sweet summer calm on the heart of man, and the breasts of bird and beast and creeping thing.
