Those ancients who in poetry presented
the golden age, who sang its happy state,
perhaps, in their Parnassus, dreamt this place.
Here, mankind's root was innocent; and here
were every fruit and never‐ending spring;
these streams‐the nectar of which poets sing.
Dante Alighieri, The Divine Comedy

The very beginning was written and all he had to do was go on. That's all, he said. You see how simple what you cannot do is?
Ernest Hemingway, The Garden of Eden

In the morning of the world, when the dew still lay upon the Garden, man was created so that there might be someone to enjoy it. In order that he might relish beauty, he was given a soul; and having a soul, he was given speech, since without speech, it is impossible to understand such abstractions as the soul. That was a mistake, but I do not see how it could have been avoided.
Robert Nathan, The Bishop's Wife

Love of beauty is taste. The creation of beauty is art.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Sometimes since I've been in the garden I've looked up through the trees at the sky and I have had a strange feeling of being happy as if something was pushing and drawing in my chest and making me breathe fast. Magic is always pushing and drawing and making things out of nothing. Everything is made out of magic, leaves and trees, flowers and birds, badgers and foxes and squirrels and people. So it must be all around us. In this garden ‐ in all the places.
Frances Hodgson Burnett, The Secret Garden
