MiltonGood Press, 17. dec. 2019 - 215 strani Milton is a biography written by John Cann Bailey. John Milton (1608- 1674) was an English poet and intellectual mostly known for his epic religious and metaphysical poem "Paradise Lost". Excerpt: "Bid amaranthus all his beauty shed, And daffadillies fill their cups with tears, To strew the laureate hearse where Lycid lies. For so, to interpose a little ease, Let our frail thoughts dally with false surmise. Ay me! whilst thee the shores and sounding seas Wash far away, where'er thy bones are hurled, Whether beyond the stormy Hebrides, Where thou perhaps under the whelming tide Visit'st the bottom of the monstrous world." |
