And Cain went out from the face of the Lorde and dwelt in the lande Nod on the east syde of Eden.

—Genesis

Adam and his race are a dream of mortal mind, because Cain went to live in the Land of Nod, the land of dreams and illusions.

—Mary Baker Eddy, Science and Health

Wynken and Blynken are two little eyes,
And Nod is a little head,
And the wooden shoe that sailed the skies
Is a wee one’s trundle-bed;
So shut your eyes while Mother sings
Of wonderful sights that be,
And you shall see the beautiful things
As you rock on the misty sea

—Eugene Field
