Paradise Lost Ⅰ 精彩片段:

14

Witness the Streets of Sodom, and that night

In Gibeah, when the hospitable door

Exposd a Matron to avoid worse rape. [ 505 ]

These were the prime in order and in might;

The rest were long to tell, though far renownd,

Th Ionian Gods, of Javans Issue held

Gods, yet confest later then Heavn and Earth

Thir boasted Parents; Titan Heavns first born [ 510 ]

With his enormous brood, and birthright seisd

By younger Saturn, he from mightier Jove

His own and Rheas Son like measure found;

So Jove usurping reignd: these first in Creet

And Ida known, thence on the Snowy top [ 515 ]

Of cold Olympus ruld the middle Air

作品简介:

Milton's Paradise Lost is one of the greatest epic poems in the English language. It tells the story of the Fall of Man, a tale of immense drama and excitement, of rebellion and treachery, of innocence pitted against corruption, in which God and Satan fight a bitter battle for control of mankind's destiny. The struggle rages across three worlds - heaven, hell, and earth - as Satan and his band of rebel angels plot their revenge against God. At the center of the conflict are Adam and Eve, motivated by all too human temptations, but whose ultimate downfall is unyielding love.

Marked by Milton's characteristic erudition is a work epic both in scale and, notoriously, in ambition. For nearly 350 years it has held generation upon generation of scholars, students and readers in rapt attention and its profound influence can be seen in almost every corner of Western culture.
