“Better to reign in Hell than serve in Heaven.”
Blinded by the tragic loss of his beloved wife and deeply disillusioned by the Restoration, Milton found solace in dictating his monumental biblical epic, Paradise Lost, to a series of loyal aides. As the celestial conflict between God and Satan unfolds, the human tragedy of Adam and Eve, their temptation, and fall, is intricately portrayed in language that surpasses all others in its melodic beauty. This awe-inspiring and audacious endeavor, as described by Milton, aimed to "justify the ways of God to men." Since its initial publication, Paradise Lost has garnered unparalleled reverence, inspiring countless writers, including the legendary Mary Shelley and the esteemed William Wordsworth. It is widely regarded as the pinnacle of poetic achievement in the English language, a timeless masterpiece that continues to resonate with readers across generations.
