A review by oldpondnewfrog
Paradise Lost by John Milton

5.0

Rich, epic. Such language. Very compelling devils (their speeches about what to do now that they're in Hell are some of my favorite ones in all the book). And Satan, finally renouncing good; and Adam's ridiculous love for Eve. But man, that language! Nouns for verbs, nouns for adjectives, verbs left unsaid, Yoda syntax, "because in thee Love hath abounded more than glory abounds," everything very rich and romantic, like weighty cloth.
