Paradise Lost by John Milton; An Easy to Read Edition. Milton's masterpiece was difficult for me to read. I was challenged by three things: Milton's use of his "blank verse" format; the archaic spelling in currently available editions; and Milton's many references to obscure historical and mythological events, locations, and characters. To make my next reading of this beloved poem easier, I have made changes in three areas. First, I have updated the spelling. Second, I have included a glossary. Third, I have reformatted the poem into something very much like a script. This quasi-script format offers a side benefit of making this text much easier to read aloud. ...

Paradise Lost by John Milton; An Easy to Read Edition. Book I. (Milton narrating) Of man's first disobedience, and the fruit of that forbidden tree, Whose mortal taste brought Death into the world, and all our woe, With loss of Eden, till one greater man restore us, and regain the blissful seat, Sing heavenly muse, that on the secret top of Oreb, or of Sinai, Didst inspire that shepherd, who first taught the chosen seed, In the beginning how the heavens and earth rose out of Chaos: Or if Sion hill delight thee more, And Siloa's brook that flowed fast by the oracle of God;...

A horseman was coming down the road, solemn and grim, wearing a dark cape, and wearing a hat broad of brim. The horse upon which he rode was as dark as the night. The horse had two eyes flashing red, ready for a fight. The black-clothed rider had strong shoulders broad, though his bearing and aura were of a gentleman lord. Hanging at the horseman's side was a mighty sword, a blade of strength and courage wherever it warred. Underneath his hat, the man's face was obscured, though he seemed a man who had much endured. The horse lazily trotted along ignoring the village throng, though her red eyes did flash as though asking for a clash!...

Call Upon Hope I cast a net, into the sea, I cast a net to catch some dreams; The sea wouldn’t let me free, So I cast a net to catch some dreams; I tried to grasp, the light of the sun, I tried to shine, like the moon; Although the moon, lies in heaven, I tried to shine, like the moon; The sun set me ablaze, And the moon, was nothing but dust; I was looked upon, with an envious gaze, Borne by the sons of lust; When nations left my side, And hate was given birth; I spread my arms wide, And I conquered the earth; Now I lift my head with pride, And each heart is bound by my rope; Nations walk by my side, After all I am Hope....

A complete collection of the poems of William Blake. Blake (1757-1827) was an English poet, engraver, and painter. Early in his life, his unique and deceptively simple poems marked the beginning of Romanticism, particularly those from his volumes Songs of Innocence (1789) and Songs of Experience (1794). Later work evolved into long mythological pieces informed by visions Blake claimed to have throughout his life. This volume collects all his poetic output, including those unfinished fragments in manuscript form....

The Tyger Tyger Tyger, burning bright, In the forests of the night: What immortal hand or eye, Could frame thy fearful symmetry?   In what distant deeps or skies Burnt the fire of thine eyes! On what wings dare he aspire? What the hand, dare seize the fire?   And what shoulder, & what art, Could twist the sinews of thy heart? And when thy heart began to beat, What dread hand? & what dread feet?   What the hammer? what the chain, In what furnace was thy brain? What the anvil? what dread grasp, Dare its deadly terrors clasp?   When the stars threw down their spears And water’d heaven with their tears: Did he smile his work to see? Did he who made the Lamb make thee?   Tyger, Tyger burning bright, In the forests of the night: What immortal hand or eye, Dare frame thy fearful symmetry?...

Alexander Pope (1688-1744) is widely considered to be the best poet of the Augustan age, and perhaps English verse’s best satirist ever. Pope was mostly self-taught having been denied a formal protestant education because of his family’s Roman Catholic beliefs; he also suffered from the effects of Pott’s disease his entire life, which left him deformed and of small stature never growing past the height of four feet six inches. Despite these challenges, Pope flourished in English society and was likely its first professional literary writer having garnered significant income from the sales of books to the public as opposed to traditional patronages, capitalizing mostly on his excellent translations of Homer and an edited edition of Shakespeare. A close friend of Jonathan Swift in their famous Scriblerus Club, he was quite famous in his time, and while his reputation declined in the 19th century, he is now considered the most canonical poet of his era and the true master of the heroic couplet (followed closely by his predecessor, John Dryden) and English poetic satire. This edition of his poems collects all of his major work, and most...

from "Essay on Criticism" “Tis hard to say if greater want of skill Appear in writing or in judging ill; But of the two less dangerous is th’ offence To tire our patience than mislead our sense: Some few in that, but numbers err in this; Ten censure wrong for one who writes amiss; A fool might once himself alone expose; Now one in verse makes many more in prose.     ’Tis with our judgments as our watches, none Go just alike, yet each believes his own. In Poets as true Genius is but rare, True Taste as seldom is the Critic’s share; Both must alike from Heav’n derive their light, These born to judge, as well as those to write. Let such teach others who themselves excel, And censure freely who have written well; Authors are partial to their wit, ’tis true, But are not Critics to their judgment too? “    Yet if we look more closely, we shall find Most have the seeds of judgment in their mind: Nature affords at least a glimm’ring light; The lines, tho’ touch’d but faintly, are drawn right: But as the slightest sketch, if justly traced, Is by ill col’ring but the more disgraced, So by false learning is good sens...
