Passage:
Agriculture was effortless: no forests needed clearing, manual tillage was not required, even the use of the plow was not essential, so eager were seeds to germinate in this paradise. As the plains were amply irrigated by underground and artesian waters, the plateau was watered by mountain streams of purest melted snow, and to arrange fields for
irrigation was no more trouble than fencing, which the ditches here superseded. Pg. 4
- The reason why i had chose this passage is because i like how it states how nature can be beautiful withouth being maintained. The word paradise makes me thing of a beautiful scenic picture that would be an amazing place to be. I found the underground irrigation of artesian waters remind me of some of the waterfalls from Utah.
