Hi Zo. I love the story of Noah because it is a metaphor for despair and hope/ darkness and light. I believe Milton's other great epic Samson Agonistes tells the story of the human struggle for vision (light); this light comes when we have suffered through the darkness of total blindness. When we have inner sight,(vision) that is when the light of "seeing" restores us. The window and the gem are merely symbols, Delilah and Satan—an extremely attractive pair— will always be there but " seeing the light" can illuminate the truth. xxxxxxg di
