The Description of a New World, Called the Blazing-World
·
Duchess of Margaret Cavendish Newcastle
68
After
this,
the
Empress
desired
the
Spirits
to
inform
her
where
the
Paradise
was,
Whether
it
was
in
the
midst
of
the
World
as
a
Centre
of
pleasure?
or,
Whether
it
was
the
whole
World;
or
a
peculiar
World
by
it
self,
as
a
World
of
Life,
and
not
of
Matter;
or
whether
it
was
mixt,
as
a
world
of
living
animal
Creatures?
They
answered,
That
Paradise
was
not
in
the
world
she
came
from,
but
in
that
world
she
lived
in
at
present;
and
that
it
was
the
very
same
place
where
she
kept
her
Court,
and
where
her
Palace
stood,
in
the
midst
of
the
Imperial
City.
The
Empress
asked
further,
Whether
in
the
beginning
and
Creation
of
the
World,
all
Beasts
could
speak?
They
answered,
That
no
Beasts
could
speak,
but
onely
those
sorts
of
Creatures
which
were
Fish-men,
Bear-men,
Worm-men,
and
the
like,
which
could
speak
in
the
first
Age,
as
well
as
they
do
now.
she
asked
again,
Whether
they
were
none
of
those
Spirits
that
frighted
Adam
out
of
the
Paradise,
at
least
caused
him
not
to
return
thither
again?
They
answered
they
were
not.
Then
she
desired
to
be
informed,
whither
Adam
fled
when
he
was
driven
out
of
the
Paradise?
Out
of
this
World,
said
they,
you
are
now
Empress
of,
into
the
World
you
came
from.
