Aug 20– From Paradise Lost by John Milton (1667)
Summary: Satan is stuck on Earth, so he goes to creep on Adam and Eve.
Commentary: Maybe after most of a year of reading THE CLASSICS I'll have a newfound appreciation for Milton.
I do get the famous "Fainting Victorian Satan" engraving today:
"His Lithe Proboscis; close the Serpent sly"
That's a real line in this poem.
Milton is still bad.
