That old man, as you say, who is blind and poor, or, to use your own words, 'blind, poor, and an outcast,' is a person who, on the contrary, is rich, and content with his lot, and far from being an outcast, is held in greater honor than you are, by all good men.

"Abashed the Devil stood, and felt how awful goodness is, and saw Virtue in her shape how lovely, saw and pined his loss."
"He who destroys a good book, kills reason itself."
"And the great Emathian conqueror bid spare The house of Pindarus, when temple and tow'r Went to the ground."
"What boots it with incessant care To tend the homely slighted shepherd's trade, And strictly meditate the thankless Muse?"
"Licence they mean when they cry liberty."
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.
