The more I research the Fallen Angels the more I understand why the 21st century belongs to them. Look at the side of Heaven: Jesus, Mandela, Gandhi - two were martyred and one did 27 years in jail. Look at the side of Milton's Satan, Picasso, for example, took a 17 year old mistress at 45. One is a life of servitude, another a life of self-rule.
And this is why Milton said,
"Better to reign in Hell than serve in Heaven."
And it is also why Blake and so many others followed.
Its not figurative, it's literal.
