I like
this post. However, Milton may have written good poetry, but wasn't he unusually
cruel/abusive to his daughters?

myth [neither of you are
more interestd than, e.g., John Calvin in Christ; e.g., in your era neither of
you demonstrate any measurable positive influence on your
own town let alone upon unknown nations in the eras to come; however, you
both reflect high degrees of contemporary holier than thou religious
arrogance...writing for you's like feedin' strawberries to jackass
while, by contrast, (e.g.) the French, to whom Calvin wrote via
their King (in the intro to his 'Institutes') initiatd an
ongoing global response to Calvin himself that amazed even the
Durants..Calvin's*, like Augustine's, and like John Milton's, who in
addition to _Paradise Lost_ wrote some of the greatest poetry ever (he
was also a Puritan, and a blind man, and, e.g., if you're interestd in
the biblical Samson and 'blindness', read Milton's _Samson Agonistes', 40+
pages of brilliantly written 17th c. English that typifies all of his
work), *is always listd among the most influential lit
ever..the proof of his (and their) ongoing exceptional influence is in
your email drivel which often, similarly parallels the hatreds of
their contemporaries]
