Description
Now storming fury rose,
And clamour, such as heard in heaven till now
Was never. (Book VI, 207-209)
Archangel Raphael tells Adam and Eve about the rebellion of Lucifer's army.
Satan has declared war on God's angels. Rebel angels and faithful angels intermingle in total chaos. Only their wings can distinguish which side they belong to.
