Happy Birthday Milton!
It's Milton's birthday today.
I was trying to find a good copy of Paradise Lost to quote from, but I think this is as good as it's going to get.
I'm rather fond of Paradise Lost -- I read it in college, and it's mentioned in one of my favorite books (Pamela Dean's Tam Lin, which utterly spoiled me on what I thought college was going to be like).
It's very Christian, but the version I linked above is annotated, so if you're in the mood for Latinate sentences, give it a try.
