paradise regained is the necessary conclusion to paradise lost , the worst mistake purified by the best of men, eternal happiness lost through disobedience and won back through sacrifice. it is less ornate, less expansive, less breathtaking and yet it loses none of its beauty in its simplicity; there is nothing to tell but christ's strength against satan's temptation, alone in the wilderness.

I'm reading this for the second time. An absolutely amazing poem and worth reading a second time for extra depth. Pretty heavy going, I think next time I would re-read just my favourite bits.
