Great Regulars: After creating the beautiful garden

of flowers and one straight, clear pathway, God brings "mankind to live," and instructs mankind to take care of the "vines and fig trees" and to care for the flowers, but they are to "keep the pathway open/Your home is at the end."

Instead of instructing them not to eat the forbidden fruit of the tree in the midst of the garden, in Frost's interpretation, God simply commands them to "keep the pathway open." However, the command is, in fact, the same.
