Milton resembles Dante in nothing ; judging super- ficially, one might say that they both wrote long poems which mention God and the angels, but their gods and IL MAESTRO 165 their angels are as different as their styles and abilities.
Dante's god is ineffable divinity. Milton's god is a fussy old man with a hobby. Dante is metaphysical, where Milton is merely sectarian. " Paradise Lost " is conventional melodrama, and later critics have decided that the devil is intended for the hero, which in
...terpreta- tion leaves the whole without significance. Dante's satan is undeniably and indelibly evil. He is not " Free Will" but stupid malignity. Milton has no grasp of the super-human, Milton's angels are men of enlarged power, plus wings. Dante's angels surpass human nature, and differ from it. They move in their high courses inexplicable.
" mafe sembiante d' uomo, cut altra cura stringa." " Appeared as a man whom other care incites." "Inf." ix. loi.
Milton, moreover, shows a complete ignorance of the things of the spirit.
