"He who would be a great man, must be a great judge."
"The greatest part of men are but a rude multitude, and have no more sense of things than children."
"For what can be more unjust than to throw the blame of a bad cause upon the fault of the first man?"
"For what can war, but acts of war still breed, Till injur'd truth from violence be freed?"
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.
