Golden Age stands for life in unconsciousness, for unawareness of death and
of all the problems of existence, for the ‘Centre’ which precedes time, or which,
within the limitations of existence, seems to bear the closest resemblance to
paradise. Ignorance of the world of existence creates a kind of golden haze, but
with the growing understanding of concepts of duty, the father-principle and
rational thinking, the world can again be apprehended (31). The aims of surrealism are nothing short of reintegrating, as far as is practicable, this state of emotional irrationality characteristic of primigenial peoples.

There is a fragment by Callimachus on the Age of
Saturn, in which animals have the power of speech (this being a symbol of the
Golden Age which preceded the emergence of the intellect—Man—when the
blind forces of Nature, not yet subject to the logos, were endowed with all sorts
of extraordinary and exalted qualities)
hell the add kind of looks like a paradise garden
