[Milton-L] Milton defamation in this morning's NY Times

[Carol Barton]

Thanks, Alan. (I'm recovering from recent eye surgery, and can't see 
fine details with any clarity at the moment).

Believe it or not, the _Times_  just checked with the "artist," who 
confirmed that it's supposed to be Milton, "Prince of Poets"!

Since when did Milton have a pointy beard--unlike Charles I, who 
sported one most of his life?

The sculpture bears a far more striking resemblance to the king than 
to his opponent--and I've just sent them portraits of the two so that 
they can see for themselves.

That still doesn't excuse the rest of the "facts"--even if the 
sculptor is, shall we say, a little misguided?

Best to all,

Carol Barton
