One thought on “L’amour, L’amour

  1. Near the end of Book VIII of Paradise Lost, Milton has Raphael reply to Adam’s pointed inquiry about how angels express L’amour:  “To whom the angel with a smile that glowed celestial rosy red, love’s proper hue, answered.”  Well, he cavilled, basically.  His Valentine’s Message was not Be Mine, but Be Good.  But Rhino’s cheeks are just the colour that Milton meant, I’m sure.
