Amidst the cosmic battlefield of Milton's "Paradise Lost," where The Fall of the Rebel Angels unfolds, a modern-day missive arrives, delivered not by a horseman but by an advanced drone, its colorful lithograph image bearing a military badge. The Mailed Fist, an emblem of power and force, strikes at last, echoing the armored fists of Henry II and Thomas Becket's heated dispute in 12th-century England. Yet, contrastingly, Menno van Coehoorn's ingenious Roman machine for firing arrows, mounted on a carriage drawn by mailed horses, stands still in the annals of history. The Mailed Fist's reach now extends beyond the battlefield, as evidenced by Wilhelm II's intense gaze upon his War Map, the mailed fist symbolizing his unwavering determination during World War I. The Restraining Hand, however, remains a constant reminder of the balance between power and restraint, as the mail-laden message continues its journey through time.
