Thoughts on this review?

"Paradise Lost is one of the books which the reader admires and lays down, and forgets to take up again. None ever wished it longer than it is. Its perusal is a duty rather than a pleasure. We read Milton for instruction, retire harassed and overburdened, and look elsewhere for recreation; we desert our master, and seek for companions." -Samuel Johnson

Great instruction my work meant to present, and justify ways of God to men. To great for some men seems, and of these barbs sympathies for royalist deeper down I suspect.

have you ever thought about publishing your work on ao3 or perhaps wattpad. i think you would do, as they say, numbers dearest milton.

Of Our Own Archives, not thought to publish, and Wattpad, worse still and site I not dare go. Places full of vices, though praise must I for best place found to resist temptations.

hi milty, what's your favorite fruit :)

Of all fruits but one Forbidden I take great pleasure. Though, to write great work live sparingly must and drink of clear springs. Thus to figs I must praise, that simple fruit that before me blind bards might have eaten.

why is Adam such a rude crybaby in Paradise Lost? Eve deserves better tbh

Formed from second rib and live with another Eve the first man could not, thus chose to taste that fruit from which brought forth woe. Crybaby Adam is not, for willingly chose to fall with Eve. His only fault was in over admiring and over trusting first woman.

my professor said that satan's vibe towards jesus in paradise regained can be summed up in a sentence, that being "notice me, senpai." are you happy with this interpretation of your work?

Muse found not fit for me to use those words to describe the moment of firm obedience. For in the wilderness, Adversary tried to tempt and Son refus'd and not unlike summation was second temptation foil'd, and serpent left unnoticed by our Great Savior.

milton you are so brave for deciding to write an epic in this day and age. digressing, do you have strong thoughts on romances?

Of Arthur, that great king unlike the tyrants now, thought once would be my great task, but better served in telling of the First Disobedience Maker saw fit. Though old ambition found new bent and for how war in Heav'n told thus remains.

On my name new angle of attack taken by royalists strange I must admit. On my modesty, long unchallenged as stood, while in youth I championed my own chastity. Lain with serpents I have not, as fiction would have believe, but author of such work I find suspect. Of sober virtue and true to God I remain.

How does the climate in Eden work to keep both pine trees AND palm trees alive?

Of climes, God and garden not concerned. If in harmony all God's creations live and should lion and tyger be able to resist flock or fawn, should not all trees grow side by side? Or part of work in Paradise to keep and tend these varied trees.

what should i write about for my close analysis 5-6 page paper on your writing

Till deadline past'd I stood and wait to answer, endeavoring not to tell what to think. Without theft and ascribed to thee the work must truly be and of great persuasion. Own thoughts works from mine bas'd shall sprout, if interests of thine own should follow. Trust in Him thy paper topic shall emerge for freedom to chose and reason God gave.
