Sing Heavenly Muse

Milton, the blind poet who wants to see out of frustration at not being able to see and he was not born blind, he became blind. He talks about darkness visible and his conceptions of hell are the most truthful, the most faithful, the most inspiring because hell is a state of mind,. heaven and hell are states that exist, the states of mind and we experience them on earth. We're going to see what we're seeing right from the start is Milton's attempt to reconceptualise the Genesis creation myth. You can see the later parts of the poem foreshadowing, the later part will be called "The Garden of Earthly Delights"
