I searched for it, and found a couple quotes, e.g.: How would you compare the rational ideal of the Houyhnhnms with the role of reason in Milton’s paradise? Are the Houyhnhnms Swift’s idea of what prelapsarian man might have become, the Yahoos his idea of what postlapsarian man has become? 203, 215 So it evidently refer's to the expulsion of Adam and Eve from Paradise, because Eve took a bite out of the apple.
