Anyone read "Paradise Lost" here (1 Viewer)

Im not a religious person at all, but its a DAMN good read. For massive poem written 350 years ago its suprisingly easy to read too. Check it out.

I've been meaning to read it, actually.
But now that I'm not at school I don't have access to a library. Tis very sad.

You can check it out here if you are really keen. If you search around you can find plenty of essays on it which are interesting to read.

Paradise Lost is awexome... one of my favourite pieces of narrative verse... hehe... Satan is sooooo suave...

I am currently TRYING to read this but I am having a fair bit of trouble. Poetry always takes a long time to read because it's so indepth, but this, argh, well it blows me away. John Milton writes wonderfully but its so hard to read and is taking me forever.

Has anyone read all of it? (If you have I truly commend you)

I plan on having it read by the end of the school holidays, but I haven't even finished reading the first chapter

ARGH

Towards the end of the first chapter there is a bit where Milton describes Satan's army. I remember that as being totally amazing.

Did I request thee, Maker, from my clay
To mould me man? Did I solicit thee
From darkness to promote me?


i love bits of it too
