A coy look was on his face as pink lips added fuel to the fire blazing white hot in the Aemond’s body. But whether the forbidden fruit was an apple, fig, peach, pomegranate or something completely different, it is worth revisiting the temptation scene in Book 9 of Paradise Lost , both as an homage to Milton (who composed his masterpiece when he was blind, impoverished and in the doghouse for his regicidal politics) and simply to savor the sublime beauty of the language. Thomas Jefferson loved this poem. With its superfood dietary advice, celebration of the 'self-help is the best help' ideal, and presence of a snake-oil salesman, Paradise Lost is a quintessentially American story, although composed more than a century before the United States was founded.

Perhaps the simplest of fruits are those of grasses (all cereals such as corn and wheat)...These fruits are caryopses. For example, if you find yourself attracted to someone unavailable or otherwise out of reach. It may be because of this Effect. Knowing this can help you to resist the temptation and focus on finding someone who is more attainable.

The little God sighed in boredom before finally crawling to his feet and dusting his dress down from any lingering dirt. Dowling, Curtis F.; Morton, Julia Frances (1987). Fruits of warm climates.

Commander-sama, since your pants are already stained from before. Why doesn’t Commander-sama fully taste the ripe fruit that only he can enjoy?” This desire may also reflect our need for autonomy and self-expression. Humans have always craved the freedom to self-determine their destiny; breaking societal limits can offer an intoxicating taste of that freedom in miniature form. Whatever the reason, one thing is clear: we want what we cannot have because it feels good, at least at the moment. In other words, we tend to overestimate the probability of more available events, either because they happened recently or because they are easier to imagine.

But in other cases, it can result in bad decisions that have harmful consequences, such as cheating on a partner or overeating junk food. In Western Europe, the fruit was often depicted as an apple. This was possibly because of a misunderstanding of – or a pun on – two unrelated words mălum, a native Latin noun which means 'evil' (from the adjective malus), and mālum, another Latin noun, borrowed from Greek μῆλον, which means 'apple'. In the Vulgate, Genesis 2:17 describes the tree as "de ligno autem scientiae boni et mali": "but of the tree [literally 'wood'] of knowledge of good and evil" ( mali here is the genitive of malum). According to the Bible, there is nothing to show the forbidden fruit of the tree of knowledge was necessarily an apple.
