Paradise Lost and Paradise Regained demonstrate Miltons genius for fusing sense and sound. Classicism and innovation narrative and drama fortifying not merely our sense of what is beautiful but what is human as well. It leaves readers with no choice but to commit themselves totally with their minds and with their hearts.
