Paradise Lost - An interesting counterpoint to Milton's epic poem Paradise Lost. Paradise Regained is written in a different poetic style and is concerned with a simple dialogue between Jesus and Satan; although I had assumed - prior to reading - that this poem would encompass the passion of Christ I found that it is dedicated to depicting the Temptation of Christ. A worthwhile read both for cultural and spiritual reasons. (

Epigraph

Dedication

First words

They who to States and Governors of the Commonwealth direct their Speech, High Court of Parliament, or wanting such access in a private condition, write that which they foresee may advance the public good ...

Quotations

I cannot praise a fugitive and cloistered virtue, unexercised and unbreathed, that never sallies out and sees her adversary, but slinks out of the race, where that immortal garland is to be run for, not without dust and heat.
