[Milton-L] Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night...

[Mario DiCesare]

Enough already. Carrol is absolutely right. If you really HAVE make comparisons, 
think about Homer or Vergil or Dante or Shakespeare or Goethe  or Tolstoy or 
Dostoyevsky or Joyce or or or or. The mind reels.

But WHY make comparisons? Instead, try to get the spelling right. His name is 
Carrol. And most instead, read and read and read and ... think.

Merry Christmas.

Mario
