To John Milton (1608 -1674) Poem by Xelam Kan™
To John Milton (1608 -1674)
Let's tell you a story
Of a man
who lost his sight
But endowed with vision and sense
upright.
The heavenly muses of love, epic and poetry
Inspirited his heart`s territory.
Thou' once a pride of the Puritan Court and
Summoned the whole Areopagus in his support.
A divine in heart but Hellenic in thoughts,
Love and Liberty he did proclaim,
And Greek, French and Latin was his domain
As Greece proud of Solon
He's too, a distinction of London.
Majestic were his rhymes
And a statesman too, he was sublime.
For centuries his prose and verses,
Ignite the passion.
I wish I were born in thy poesy arms
To grace my wit and Will
with thy lasting charm.
Yes, A divine in heart but Greek in thought...i would like to add that here the greekness should not be taken as paganism...He used Epic -the pagan poetic form for the religious theme. you have done a wonderful job.
Superb! ! ! really a nice tribute to the great Milton...thank you Gulsher John for inviting me to visit your page.
Ah... A true tribute to a literary giant, John Milton... One can get a glimpse of his entire career as a poet here... Compact sentences, that can be expanded in a full pledge essay on Milton. The rhythm is fine and the language is in harmony with the thought... U did justice to ur subject and I salute ur boldness for writing on such a great man... An everlasting piece, which the readers would certainly like to read before going through Milton...Bravo!
Really good! I have to confess to not being all that familiar with his work. But this makes me want to go read his poems! . The beauty of all poetry is that it is there to be enjoyed for all time. So put it somewhere safe folks! Nice one Yoda: -)
A great tribute to an amazing poet, inspired write and thanks for sharing!
