Dear Don,

I noted recently that I felt a neglected motif in Ada was RELIGION - - and
listening to a lecture on Paradise Lost, I heard something that struck me as
perhaps being relevant. The lecturer stated that some critics came to think
that in Eden Milton was portraying the New World &, the lecturer continued,
his own opinion is that both Eden & Pandemonium (haha!) are two New Worlds.

I thought that was very interesting.

Carolyn
