John Milton (9 December 1608 – 8 November 1674) was an English poet, polemicist, a scholarly man of letters, and a civil servant for the Commonwealth of England under Oliver Cromwell. He wrote at a time of religious flux and political upheaval, and is best known for his epic poem Paradise Lost. Milton's poetry and prose reflect deep personal convictions, a passion for freedom and self-determination, and the urgent issues and political turbulence of his day. <a href="https://www.last.fm/music/Jo

Quotes
- “What needs my Shakespeare for his honoured bones,The labor of an age in pilèd stones,Or that his hallowed relics should be hidUnder a star-y-pointing pyramid?Dear son of memory, great heir of fame,What need'st thou such weak witness of thy name?”
- “And so sepúlchred in such pomp dost lie,That kings for such a tomb would wish to die.”
- “How soon hath Time, the subtle thief of youth,Stol'n on his wing my three-and-twentieth year!”
- “Captain or Colonel, or Knight in Arms,Whose chance on these defenceless doors may seize,If ever deed of honour did thee please,Guard them, and him within protect from harms.”
- “The great Emathian conqueror bid spareThe house of Pindarus, when temple and towerWent to the ground.”
- “Such sweet compulsion doth in music lie.”
