John Milton's On The Late Massacre In Piedmont

[PerpetualAndragogy]

Soo, the Fleet Foxes get their inspiration from Milton's "On the Late Massacre in Piedmont?" Cool song!

the greatest sonnet in the english language

this is miltton's greatest poem--he got it from reports read to him in what counted at newspapers at the i I am catholic but this poem is beyond that-- do you know why he says Avenge Oh Lord..because he had written to the protestant powers all of them and they did nothing--kind of like Dr King the martyrs in Miss and blessed Jimmie Lee Jackson deacon at St James Baptist Church in Alabama slaughtered for trying to protect his mother

of course its a masterpiece. Surely Milton in one of the greatest poets in english. Its about a massacre in 1655, by the intolerant catholics. Well Im catholic, and thnk that history is full of religion crimes from both sides.its a shame, but seems that man is basically cimminal, no matter what he believes
