"Yet not to earth are those bright luminaries lent for show, but to dispense their good."
"Yet, when I consider that I am not to satisfy the vulgar, but those who are knowing, and lovers of truth, I am encouraged to proceed."
"What boots it with incessant care To tend the homely slighted shepherd's trade, And strictly meditate the thankless Muse?"
"Litigious terms, fat contentions, and flowing fees."
"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."
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.
