Product Description

Excerpt from The Consolation: A Poem

The birth of Imagination took place with the expulsion of our first parents from Eden, who, on being driven forth to cultivate the world, were told that they should also people it. - Cain, therefore, was given from the Lord as a consolation, to turn their thoughts in a new direction.
