Though Milton said that all that we eat or drink <br />is propagated curse, <br />the things we propagate because we think <br />are often even worse. <br /> <br />Inspired by lines from Book X of Paradise Lost: <br /> <br />All that I eat or drink, or shall beget, <br />Is propagated curse. O voice, once heard <br />Delightfully, Encrease and multiply; <br />Now death to hear! for what can I encrease, <br />Or multiply, but curses on my head?<br /><br />gershon hepner<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/propagated-curse/
