I am not, indeed, sure whether it is not true to say that the Milton who once seemed not unlike a seventeenth-century Shelley had not become, out of an experience ever more bitter in each year, more alien (sic) to the founder of that Jesuit sect which nothing could induce him to tolerate.
I like fiction that gives a better understanding of real life, and non-fiction that transfixes with poetic elegance. Good points about concision tho!
