Paradise Lost Book IV Suspect

Paradise Lost Book IV suspect the Morning Star's overzealous heart burdens unfortunate jealousy over my new creation, Man. His unrelenting mischief is nigh. That is why I have deplored Uriel as my messenger to inform Gabriel, my second in command of Angels, to be my eyes and ears. There goes Uriel now, leaving a shaft of light behind him. Oh, the Heavens are shaking the stars' alignment! A foul odor, ever expanding, attempts to breach the gate! There goes the sly serpent from the north.

Beware! Satan hath other means of direction to segue beyond earthly elements, and to stealth his way into paradise. Gabriel, may you be my Charge and my Compass. Silence appeases the Garden and Night blankets every pore of earth's secretion. No want or will of evil haunts this Heavenly hour or dare awakens conscience. Even the Nightingale sings the evening tune of golden slumbers. Adam, may night drape and unfurl you with peaceful songs, for the daylight sings a different tune.

The sun will peer its head over the horizon, and every blade of grass will have awakened. The labors of the land are the labors of your soul. Every branch, leaf and flower will sing a mutual understanding of the labors you will perform. Eve, you question the gratitude that you have been freely granted. You say that you have forgotten time, the lapsing of the seasons, but your words say something else.

Be careful, for you do not carry heavy uncertainties, queries whose branches outweigh the head and heart, for a lion does not take on the hunt by itself, nor does a twig break a swallows back for which it uses to mend a home. Be careful Eve, words intend more then they speak. You have become unseemly aware. Who told you that your eyes were shut? General Ancestor', your name speaks deceit.

You labor yourself as the Ancient One when it was thou "I am" that is and always will be before time. The future nations you speak of are of your architecture. Let these unseen cities be the weight of the arrow that pierces your heart into watery fathoms below. Dark matter trails behind you like the tail of a comet. The waste left behind that comet hath no foundation for a secondary earth. Your rule is temporal.

However, do not act in haste for the choice of humankind has not yet been marbled in stone. These are my closing words. Adam and Eve, take heed, for the narrative that tells of your foreboding does not bind me. I am all things possible. Words I can undo, but the choice is yours. Tests will follow. Continue to cultivate by day, and sleep by night, for even the Nightingale sings of golden slumbers. No want or will of evil haunts this Heavenly hour or dare awakens conscience.

Do not act in haste for the fate of humankind has not yet been marbled in stone. According to Milton, Satan's persuasive speech advices Eve that her eyes will be open and that "Millions of spiritual creatures walk the earth/Unseen, both when we awake, and when we sleep; / " Satan's speech has many subtle implications about God's rule over humankind as slavery. Additionally, the slavery manifests itself in Adam and Eve's limited sensory abilities to see all things.

Milton utilizes Pagan elements to portray Satan's attempt to tantalize Eve with sensual desire. Hence have the passage, / All things to man's delightful use; the roof/O thickest covert was inwoven shade,/Laurel and myrtle, and what higher grew / of firm and fragrant leaf:" Essentially, Satan is setting the stage, lighting the candles, so to speak, in order to seduce Eve with promises of power. Take the case Willie. It has promotion written all over it. So what if the defendant is a molestation case.

Those girls who claim somebody raped them come a dime a dozen. This case can easily be thrown out. So what if the accuser is telling the truth or not as long as you win. What matters is that you will be lounging in Palm Springs after this with a margarita in one hand.
