Blogging: According to Book IV, what would you say is the nature (essence) of prelapsarian Eden, Adam, and Eve?

I would have to say that according to book IV, the nature of prelapsarian Eden is lush and full.Within the initial description of Eden, there are lines that describe the plants as, "...a circling row of goodliest trees loaden with fairest fruit, Blossoms and fruits at once of golden hue Appeared, with gay enameled colors mixed."(Book IV, L. 146-149) Milton continues, describing Eden as this kind of dense nature, full and intense with life. Adam and Eve, as they work in the garden, seem to be strongly innocent, having freedom to wander and enjoy the Garden in a pure form. This is a beautiful image in which Milton paints for us and is truly a paradise to admire.
