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

[Judith Herz]

Not to get too entangled in this thread, but since Kirmss is a contemporary 
artist (I'm assuming this object is in the Williamsburgh exhibit), I think 
it can be better read as Milton throwing up at the royal icon (the poet's 
testament).  That's not a beard (it's coming out of his mouth; possibly his 
tongue, so perhaps he's just sticking his tongue out).
