Paradise Lost Ⅻ 精彩片段:

9

There in captivitie he lets them dwell

The space of seventie years, then brings them back, [ 345 ]

Remembring mercie, and his Covnant sworn

To David, stablisht as the dayes of Heavn.

Returnd from Babylon by leave of Kings

Thir Lords, whom God disposd, the house of God

They first re-edifie, and for a while [ 350 ]

In mean estate live moderate, till grown

In wealth and multitude, factious they grow;

But first among the Priests dissension springs,

Men who attend the Altar, and should most

Endeavour Peace: thir strife pollution brings [ 355 ]

Upon the Temple it self: at last they seise

The Scepter, and regard not Davids Sons,

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.
