Paradise Lost Ⅺ 精彩片段：

12

Better end heer unborn. Why is life givn

To be thus wrested from us? rather why

Obtruded on us thus? who if we knew

What we receive, would either not accept [ 505 ]

Life offerd, or soon beg to lay it down,

Glad to be so dismist in peace. Can thus

Th Image of God in man created once

So goodly and erect, though faultie since,

To such unsightly sufferings be debast [ 510 ]

Under inhuman pains? Why should not Man,

Retaining still Divine similitude

In part, from such deformities be free,

And for his Makers Image sake exempt?

Thir Makers Image, answerd Michael, then [ 515 ]

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.
