More from John Milton
"Yet not to earth are those bright luminaries lent for show, but to dispense their good."
"For neither was it fit the Lord of all things Should be unhonour'd, and his works not sung."
"I am not about to write a romance, but a serious history."
"There is no truth sure enough to justify persecution."
"Rocks, caves, lakes, fens, bogs, dens, and shades of death."
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.
