Robert: I'm going to tell you about how people's eating somebody else's apples can lead to big trouble all around.


Maybe trouble for a neighbor of Robert Frost or for Milton's Adam and Eve, but biblical Genesis never mentions an apple. Just one example of how Milton has influenced popular mythology about Christianity. Regardless, there's always some beat cop in an old black-and-white movie who steals a vendor's apples with impunity.
