He handed me Milton's poems, and told me there was nothing higher up. I asked him if literary people would know that book, and he said yes, by heart. So I bought it, and I read Paradise Lost clear through. It came hard, and when I got to the end I doubted whether Adam's and Eve's steps were any more wandering and slow than mine had been. But I want- ed to see whether I had any literary taste or could get any, and I did find some places that I could understand, and some lines I had heard before.... I began to try these on Miss Rulison, to see if she would recognize me as being liter- ary too. One day I remarked, sort of thrown-in like, " ' Better to reign in Hell JOT, THE JANITOR 95 than serve in Heaven, ' as Milton says. " Miss Eulison lifted her eyebrows a little, but made no reply. Another time I asked, " Do you remember where Milton says in Paradise Lost: ' How beauty is excelled by manly grace And wisdom, which alone is truly fair ' ? " "I never read a line of Paradise Lost, " she replied with an amused smile; and then I knew it was useless for me to try to get into her class.
