Paradise Lost Ⅷ 精彩片段:

7

Not of my self; by some great Maker then,

In goodness and in power præeminent;

Tell me, how may I know him, how adore, [ 280 ]

From whom I have that thus I move and live,

And feel that I am happier then I know.

While thus I calld, and strayd I knew not whither,

From where I first drew Aire, and first beheld

This happie Light, when answer none returnd, [ 285 ]

On a green shadie Bank profuse of Flours

Pensive I sate me down; there gentle sleep

First found me, and with soft oppression seisd

My droused sense, untroubld, though I thought

I then was passing to my former state [ 290 ]

Insensible, and forthwith to dissolve:

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.
