Kaor, Paul!
I have to believe it when many people whose word is worthy of credence argue that John Milton was a great poet. Alas, I'm not a Milton fan. It was a hard struggle for me to slog thru PARADISE LOST. I found the poem to be mostly dull, tedious, heavy, and ponderous reading.
I vastly prefer Dante's DIVINE COMEDY, even tho I had to read it in translation (I have three different translations, btw). Dante made me INTERESTED in his story, and he know HOW to tell a story readers would WANT to read. I've sometimes quoted Dante in this blog as well.
