That's just it though. Milton wrote it. I don't doubt that he did. Do I feel the need to do justify the ways of God? No. Is it a goal/purpose of my writing? No. What I fail to understand is how the desire/need to justify the ways of God to man (within or without poetry) would make someone feel alone? I don't see any correlation between the two. Perhaps the how and why are entangled, but I have no idea how the feeling of being alone relates. It seems like any interesting topic to discuss, but I just don't understand the premise here.
If you're the smartest person in the room, you're in the wrong room.
