@kerouac666 Interesting historical context (arguably) - #Milton wrote four political tracts (Tenure of Kings and Magistrates, Eikonoklastes, A Defence of the English People, and The Second Defence) in the 1650s against the idea of the absolute right of kings to rule.

#ParadiseLost was a subsequent work and it's hard to imagine the recent #EnglishCivilWar on Earth did not in some way inform his writing about a war in Heaven.

Back in 2007 we saved #Milton Country Park. At the time it was a pioneering use of an online petition, which I developed from scratch.

The ability to keep in contact with those who'd signed it, and do further calls for action - all things we take for granted today - was quite something at the time and freeked people out a bit.

I mention this as I long since let the domain go but I happened to the URL today and a domain squatter has put quite a lot of the site online!

Book two of Paradise Lost is a department meeting in hell:
Satan: the dean who's already decided what to do and is soliciting faculty input for show;
Beelzebub: the dept chair in the dean's pocket;
Moloch, Belial, and Mammon: three tenured silverbacks who have to argue with each other at every meeting and whom everyone ignores.

Motor vehicle medical emergency in #Milton on RT-28-NB at Chickatawbut Road. Rt-28 NB is currently closed in the area. Seek alt route.

Any advice for someone who wants to read #Milton? I think I need a text with footnotes and maybe even a companion reader. Paradise Lost is just really intimidating

Sonorous mettal blowing Martial sounds:
At which the universal Host upsent
A shout that tore Hells Concave, and beyond
Frighted the Reign of Chaos and old Night.
