The Devil   He seems to have been demoted — the devil, I mean — Satan, Old Scratch, Doctor D, Beelzebub. He’s gone the way of the Seven   Deadly Sins, into the purgatory of outmoded concepts. There’s still Heaven, but it’s more abstract — not like Bosch, more   like Mondrian. Hell? Some have cut themselves free of that, but when I look in the mirror, I see the devil looking back at me.     © Michael Fleming Dummerston, Vermont July 2023
