No problem at all. Milton is a joy to read, so I can hardly say it is work! Haha, Thanks for reading and stay blessed!

Thank you for your thoughts here! I'm bookmarking a " complete poems of Milton" to follow up on sometime... Right now I'm in book 8 of Paradise Lost, with Adam questioning Raphael about the structure and rationale behind the universe. Looking forward to your takes on that book.

Paradise Lost is such a fantastic work! It will start to pick up once Raphael leaves. But they can't say that no one warned them. I like the last part with Raphael when Adam starts getting too personal with the questions and how they "reproduce" up there, and he says, 'Well, it's getting late, time to go!'

I hope you enjoy this set of poems from John Milton! This is just a primer for what is next. Paradise Lost is about to get intense! I'm looking forward to sharing it with you all.

I just listened to your YouTube episode of books 1&2, after completing the book myself! It's wonderful and helps me to review, retain, and reflect on what I've read. Thank you so much 👍

That is awesome to hear! Paradise Lost will be the next six posts here on Substack. I'm looking forward to reviewing it again here. I still think back on Paradise Lost. It is such a fantastic work.

Yes, and it's growing on me. I had a road trip yesterday & finished your series on Spotify. Truly fabulous!
