Happy 400th Birthday, John Milton!
2008-12-09 09:57:00 It is not miserable to be blind; it is miserable to be incapable of enduring blindness.-John MiltonWe read not that Christ ever exercised force but once; and that was to drive profane ones out of his Temple, not to force them in. - John Milton (1608-1674)Tomorrow to fresh woods, and pastures new. - John MiltonAntichrist is Mammon's son. - JOHN MILTONHe that can apprehend and consider vice with all her baits and seeming pleasures, and yet abstain and yet distinguish, and yet prefer that which is truly better, he is the true wayfaring Christian. I cannot praise a fugitive and cloistered virtue, unexercised and unbreathed, that never sallies out and sees her adversary, but slinks out of the race, where that immortal garland is to be run for, not without dust and heat. Assuredly we bring not innocence into the world, we bring impurity much rather; that which purifies us is trial, and trial is by what is contrary. - Milton , AreopagiticaCromwell, -, who through a cloud,Not of war only, ...

Just another thing that didn?t happen due to circumstances beyond my control, and now this? OK, that?s it, my next blog is going on Wordpress. I work to a deadline, I work to several deadlines, which are each deadly deadlines, tight hard savage deadlines that would scare any sane person. Not I, no, I forge ahead, despite the fact that I lost all connection to blogspot for an hour. Yes, there was to be no posting. ?Oh well, I thought, I think I might just do some Entrecard dropping,? you know, get the stats up there. It?s amazing how many Entrecard members use blogspot. Nearly everyone I know uses Blogspot, whether it be for domain or hosting. Blogspot goes own, no drops, no postings, me left sitting wondering what the hell comes now. Let google dent my unblemished post-a-day record? Fortunately things got better, just before deadline time....
John Milton and The Origin Of Space
2008-01-13 18:53:00 “With thee conversing I forget all time, All seasons and thir change, all please alike. Sweet is the breath of morn, her rising sweet, With charm of earliest Birds; pleasant the Sun When first on this delightful Land he spreads His orient Beams, on herb, tree, fruit, and flour, Glistring with dew; fragrant the fertil earth After soft showers; and sweet the coming on Of grateful Eevning milde, then silent Night With this her solemn Bird and this fair Moon, And these the Gemms of Heav’n, her starrie train: But neither breath of Morn when she ascends With charm of earliest Birds, nor rising Sun On this delightful land, nor herb, fruit, floure, Glistring with dew, nor fragrance after showers, Nor grateful Evening mild, nor silent Night With this her solemn Bird, nor walk by Moon, Or glittering Starr-light without thee is sweet. But wherfore all night long shine these, for whom This glorious sight, when sleep hath shut all eyes?” —John Milton, Paradise Lost Book IV This is my...

El paraso perdido - John Milton
2007-08-01 03:36:00 El paraíso perdido es un poema narrativo de John Milton (1608-1674), considerado como un clásico de la literatura inglesa, y que ha dado origen a un tópico literario muy difundido en la literatura universal. Sobrepasa los 10.000 versos escritos sin rima. El poema es una epopeya acerca del tema bíblico de la caída de Adán y Eva. Trata, fundamentalmente, del problema del mal y el sufrimiento en el sentido de responder a la pregunta de por qué un Dios bueno y todopoderoso decide permitirlos cuando le sería fácil evitarlos. Milton responde a través de una descripción psicológica de los principales protagonistas del poema: el diablo, Dios, Adán y Eva, cuyas actitudes acaban por revelar el mensaje esperanzador que se esconde tras la pérdida del paraíso original. En el poema, el cielo y el infierno representan estados de ánimo antes que espacios físicos. La obra comienza ...

ON TIME - John Milton
2006-12-10 03:18:01 LY envious Time, till thou run out thy race, Call on the lazy leaden-stepping hours, Whose speed is but the heavy Plummets pace; And glut thy self with what thy womb devours, Which is no more then what is false and vain, And meerly mortal dross; So little is our loss, So little is thy gain. For when as each thing bad thou hast entomb'd, And last of all, thy greedy self consum'd, Then long Eternity shall greet our bliss With an individual kiss; And Joy shall overtake us as a flood, When every thing that is sincerely good And perfectly divine, With Truth, and Peace, and Love shall ever shine About the supreme Throne Of him, t'whose happy-making sight alone, When once our heav'nly-guided soul shall clime, Then all this Earthy grosnes quit, Attir'd with Stars, we shall for ever sit, Triumphing over Death, and Chance, and thee O Time. John Milton (b. 9 Dec. 1608; d. 8 Nov. 1674)

John Milton on the calling of the disabled
2006-12-07 04:15:02 England?s greatest poet, John Milton, suffered from glaucoma, which led to his total blindness by the age of 43. In one of his sonnets (Sonnet XIX), Milton struggled to come to terms with his blindness in relation to his profound sense of personal vocation. He believed God had called him to be England?s poet and prophet: but what would become of this vocation now that he was blind?When I consider how my light is spent,Ere half my days, in this dark world and wide,And that one Talent which is death to hide,Lodged with me useless, though my soul more bentTo serve therewith my Maker, and presentMy true account, lest He returning chide,?Doth God exact day-labour, light denied??I fondly ask. But Patience, to preventThat murmur, soon replies, ?God doth not needEither man?s work or his own gifts. Who bestBear his mild yoke, they serve him best. His stateIs kingly: thousands at his bidding speed,And post o?er land and ocean without rest:They also serve who only stand and wait.?In this sonne... |
