“Nobody can stay in the garden of Eden,' Jacques said. And then: 'I wonder why.”

James Baldwin book Giovanni's Room

I have thought about Jacques' question since. Everyone, after all, goes the same dark road - and the road has a trick of being most dark, most treacherous, when it seems most bright - and it's true that nobody stays in the garden of Eden.

Then, perhaps, life only offers the choice of remembering the garden or forgetting it. Either, or.
