Milton
began writing the epic in 1658,
During the last years
of the English
Republic. The infighting among
Different military and political
fractions that doomed the Republic
may show up in the Council of Hell
scenes in Book II.
Although he probably finished the
Work by 1664, Milton did not publish
till 1667 on account of the
Great Plague and the Great Fire.

Blake, The Marriage of Heaven and Hell
The reason
Milton wrote in
fetters when he wrote of
Angels & God,
and at liberty
when of Devils & Hell, is
because he was a true Poet,
and of the Devil's party
without knowing it.

«Мильтон говорит, что адское пламя давало
только различать вечную тьму преисподней... Мы находим эти выражения

Of Man's first disobedience, and the fruit
Of that
forbidden tree whose mortal taste
Brought death into the World,
and all our woe,
With loss of Eden, till one greater Man
Restore us, and regain the blissful seat,
Sing, Heavenly Muse, that, on the secret Top
Of Oreb, or of Sinai, didst inspire
That shepherd who first taught the chosen seed
In the beginning how the heavens and Earth
Rose out of Chaos

Перевод Арк. Штейнберга
О первом преслушанье, о плоде
Запретном, пагубном, что смерть принес
И все невзгоды наши
в этот мир,
Людей лишил Эдема, до поры,
Когда нас Величайший Человек Восставил,
Рай блаженный нам вернул,
Пой, Муза горняя! Сойди с вершин
Таинственных Синая иль Хорива,
Где был тобою пастырь вдохновлен,
Начально поучавший свой народ
Возникновенью Неба и Земли
Из Хаоса;

Book I
… Here at least
we shall be free;
the Almighty hath not built
Here for his envy, will

Here we may reign secure, and in my choice

Better to reign in Hell, than serve in Heaven.
