AVALON from the Vita Merlini
GEOFFREY OF MONMOUTH
The island of apples, which is called the Fortunate
island has its name because it produces all things
for itself. There is no work for the farmers in
plowing the fields, all cultivation is absent except
for what nature manages by herself. On its own the
island produces fertile crops and grapes and native
apples by means of its own trees in the cropped
pastures. On its own the overflowing soil puts forth
all things in addition to the grass, and in that place
one lives for one hundred years or more.
