I will imagine Milton in this voice from now on.
Dec 19– From Samson Agonistes by John Milton (1671?)
Summary: Samson kills everyone.
Commentary: After a good Milton essay the other day he's now trying his hand at drama. It goes about as well as his poetry. There is a great line, "My heels are fetter'd, but my fist is free!" Real Stan Lee stuff. As usual, God hates everyone and we need to overcompensate by saying how good he is all the time. The highlight is the page and a half long narration by the chorus of Samson freaking out and killing everyone, just in case you somehow wandered into this play and didn't know about Samson already.
