The Lost Paradise

"When God created the earth, He made a river which flowed from the Garden of Eden. Then God told Adam to name the animals. And the first animal he named was the unicorn. When the Lord heard the name Adam had spoken, he reached down and touched the tip of the single horn growing from the animal's forehead. From that moment on, the unicorn was elevated above other beasts."

-Nancy Hathaway; The Unicorn

"The unicorn", she said, "was a marvellous beast, shining with honour, wisdom and strength. Just to see him strengthened the soul."

-Megan Lindholm; The Unicorn in the Maze
