More from John Milton
"The attempt to keep out evil doctrine by licensing is like the exploit of that gallant man who thought to keep out the crows by shutting the park gate."
"For books are not absolutely dead things, but do contain a progeny of life in them to be as active as that soul whose progeny they are."
"Lords are not to be trusted with the liberty of their own consciences, so little with the liberty of ours."
"Give me the liberty to know, to utter, and to argue freely according to conscience, above all liberties."
"Enjoy your dear wit and gay rhetoric, That hath so well been taught her dazzling fence."
About John Milton (1608-1674)
English poet whose Paradise Lost (1667) is the canonical English epic, written while blind during the Restoration after his service to Cromwell's Commonwealth. Closely associated with Andrew Marvell (Commonwealth poet and friend who protected Milton at the Restoration). For an intellectual contrast, see King Charles II's Restoration court, the courtly, sexually-libertine, theater-reopened world of 1660s London — Milton wrote Paradise Lost as a defeated Republican; the Restoration culture around him celebrated everything his Commonwealth had banned. The cleanest 'losing side writes the masterpiece' moment in English literature — Paradise Lost's Satan is freighted with the political defeat of the regicides Milton served.
