At the conclusion of her article Searching For Paradise (August 26) the writer erroneously attributed the aphorism “The city is not a concrete jungle, it is a human zoo” to John Milton (L’Allegro 1.117).
The correct source is The Human Zoo (Jonathan Cape, 1969) by the British zoologist Desmond Morris. Line 117 of L’Allegro reads “Tower’d cities please us then”.
