"The Adam & Eve Diaries,"  Mark Twain

This new creature with the long hair is a good deal in the way.  It
is always hanging around and following me about.  I don't like
this; I am not used to company.  I wish it would stay with the
other animals.  (Adam)

I followed the other Experiment around, yesterday afternoon, at a
distance, to see what it might be for, if I could.  But I was not
able to make out.  I think it is a man.  I had never seen a man,
but it looked like one, and I feel sure that that it was it is...I
was afraid of it at first, and started to run every time it turned
around... (Eve)

Cloudy to-day, wind in the east; think we shall have rain..._We_? 
Where did I get that word? ...I remember now - the new creature
uses it.  (Adam)

All the week I tagged around after him and tried to get acquainted. 
I had to do the talking, because he was shy, but I don't mind it. 
He seemed pleased to have me around... (Eve)

I tried to get some of those apples, but I cannot learn to throw
straight...They are forbidden, and he says I shall come to harm;
but so I come to harm through pleasing him, why shall I care for
that harm?  (Eve)

This morning found the new creature trying to clod apples out of
that forbidden tree...She says the snake advises her to try the
fruit of that tree, and says the result will be a great and fine
and noble education.  I told her there would be another result, too
- it would introduce death into the world... (Adam)

Some things you _can't_ find out; but you will never know you can't
by guessing and supposing; no, you have to be patient and go on
experimenting until you find out that you can't find out.  And it
is delightful to have it that way, it makes the world so
interesting....(Eve)

After all these years, I see that I was mistaken about Eve in the
beginning; it is better to live outside the Garden with her than
inside it without her.  At first I thought she talked too much; but
now I should be sorry to have that voice fall silent and pass out
of my life.  (Adam)

The Garden is lost, but I have found _him_, and am content.  He
loves me as well as he can; I love him with all the strength of my
passionate nature...I suppose that this kind of love is not a
product of reasoning and statistics...It just _comes_ - no one
knows whence - and cannot explain itself.  And doesn't need to. 
(Eve)

Wheresoever she was, _there_ was Eden.  (Adam, at Eve's grave)
