John Milton - poetry, poems

born December 9th, 1608
died November 8th, 1674

[Delacroix - art prints, posters - Milton Dictating Paradise Lost to His Daughters] there's more to life than books you know, but not much more...paradise lost, the greatest poem ever written in this our english language, was in fact written by a woman, who was in fact taking dictation from a man.

and yeah, i know people besides fish have written on the guy, i'm just still too bemused by bérubé's line about enjambment to let that knowledge play a determining role in any a my actions.
