Milt was feisty yet a loyal lovable friend. Indeed, he had great human qualities:)

Heya Susan! I had a lot of respect for Milton, of course he was no saint, who is! and he’d be the first to admit it, but he did have great human qualities, cheers David

Thank you Clifford, I tried to give a balanced view of the great man, without canonising him, he wouldn’t want that, but a top poet and commentator he was, cheers David
