Paradise Lost Ⅴ 精彩片段:

12

To whom the Angel. Son of Heavn and Earth,

Attend: That thou art happie, owe to God; [ 520 ]

That thou continust such, owe to thy self,

That is, to thy obedience; therein stand.

This was that caution givn thee; be advisd.

God made thee perfet, not immutable;

And good he made thee, but to persevere [ 525 ]

He left it in thy power, ordaind thy will

By nature free, not over-ruld by Fate

Inextricable, or strict necessity;

Our voluntarie service he requires,

Not our necessitated, such with him [ 530 ]

Finds no acceptance, nor can find, for how

Can hearts, not free, be trid whether they serve

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.
