John Milton (1608-1674)

Lucifer: Still. “Better to rule in hell, than serve in heaven.” Eh, little brother-killer?

Cain: Suh-certainly, Lord Lucifer. Whatevery you say, Lord Lucifer.

Luficer: “We didn’t say it. Milton said it. And he was blind.”

— From Sandman: Seasons of Mists by Neil Gaiman

Happy Birthday, John . . .wherever you are.

(Actually, a day late now due to other distractions . . . but mark your calendar.)
