How did John Milton manage to tell the Genesis myth better than the so-called holy book itself?
>>25325427he's from the future so he has extra knowledge
Invisible Touch is better than Lamb
To me there is a distinct lack of humanity in the old testament, it's full of horrible depraved acts from humans and 'god' and it's all told with icy rigor.
you're a crypto-satanist
>>25325427Because God is the poetic genius and Milton could speak it.
>>25325427Because you read Genesis in translation and Milton was a master poet inspired by the greatest poets of all time.
>>25325427Genesis was written by inbred goatherders while Milton was an educated, well-bred man with infinite free time
>>25325660uhh Genesis was written by Jesus
>>25325427Genesis is short and vague enough to stimulate mystery. That mystery wrote Paradise Lost.
Is Paradise Lost worth reading even if I'm indifferent to Abrahamic religions?
>>25325431Selling England by the Pound > Foxtrot > A Trick of the Tail > Nursery Cryme > Wind and Wuthering > The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway > Trespass > From Genesis to Revelation > ...And Then There Were Three and every subsequent dance-pop album. your comment, as well as channeling Patrick Bateman and the 'too artsy, too intellectual' thesis of Genesis, seems to be trying to make a Gabriel vs Collins point but the real difference came when Hackett left.
>>25325809Absolutely. I am not religious and it's one of the best things written in English.
If you had actually read Genesis you would know it covers much more than yhr creation and fall
>>25325809it's full of greco-roman shit too
>>25325600so based and it's damning that no one else ITT got this
>>25325427Holy Reddit
>>25325600the itching ears of the poets romantical decent bounds knoweth not
>>25325427He didn't tell the genesis myth, he told his bastardization of it
