Everything was perfectly swell.
There were no prisons, no slums, no insane asylums, no cripples,
no poverty, no wars.
All diseases were conquered. So was old age.
Death, barring accidents, was an adventure for volunteers.
Never, never, never -- not even in medieval Holland nor old
Japan -- had a garden been more formal, been better tended. Every
plant had all the loam, light, water, air and nourishment it could
use.
A hospital orderly came down the corridor, and looked in at the
mural and the muralist. "Looks so real," he said, "I can
practically imagine I'm standing in the middle of it."
"What makes you think you're not in it?" said the painter. He
gave a satiric smile. "It's called 'The Happy Garden of Life, ' you
know."
