Paradise Lost
By John Milton
There is a certain kind of machining, where two complementary pieces of metal can be cut and shaped so perfectly, with nanometers of precision, so that despite having wild and wavy manifolds of contact when placed together the seam between the two pieces is perfect and undetectable. Extremely satisfying content to watch. And that is what John Milton's writing is like, I think. Precise, correct, fit together so smoothly as to not make comprehensible how it is accomplished or where the bits came from. He is a masterful writer.
