  • What a powerful poem this is!! Unfortunately not all stanzas are printed here. It's wonderful how he describes life, death and rebirth like Phoenix from the ashes.

    Great poetry comes from great suffering! One of my favourite poems of power, strength and the will not to give up. Each line is intense and every stanza builds this superb surrounding of survival.

    For me it's about making decisions and having great doubts if they were right. The whole poem describes a progress. The progress to become an adult. And at the end to find his/her own way. But at the end you not really know if the sigh is a regretful or a relieved sigh?

  • on Paradise Lost : Book I. by John Milton, on April 22, 2005
    The whole book(s) were a revelation for me. It is pure beauty. A genius mind is speaking to us with heaven's voice and devil's breath. Combined together it's the remembering of our being. A masterpiece of mankind besides "Faust","Canterbury Tales" and "La divina comedia". Reading this book is like pearls on your tongue. Although I'm a Buddhist I cried as I read the book
