PL is so beautiful, you can't help but feel for Adam and Eve. Even Satan is a great character - he so wants to be an epic hero. This poem is a masterpiece, and he wrote it completely blind.

It can get kinda fun, actually. Response by poster: Great replies, thank you. I will check out the Norton Critical and Modern Library editions. I'm not sure if I would prefer the original or modern spelling, but perhaps the updated spelling would be best for the first read through.
