Paradise Lost Ⅷ 精彩片段:

11

Thus farr to try thee, Adam, I was pleasd,

And finde thee knowing not of Beasts alone,

Which thou hast rightly namd, but of thy self,

Expressing well the spirit within thee free, [ 440 ]

My Image, not imparted to the Brute,

Whose fellowship therefore unmeet for thee

Good reason was thou freely shouldst dislike,

And be so minded still; I, ere thou spakst,

Knew it not good for Man to be alone, [ 445 ]

And no such companie as then thou sawst

Intended thee, for trial onely brought,

To see how thou couldst judge of fit and meet:

What next I bring shall please thee, be assurd,

Thy likeness, thy fit help, thy other self, [ 450 ]

作品简介:

Milton's Paradise Lost is one of the greatest epic poems in the English language. It tells the story of the Fall of Man, a tale of immense drama and excitement, of rebellion and treachery, of innocence pitted against corruption, in which God and Satan fight a bitter battle for control of mankind's destiny. The struggle rages across three worlds - heaven, hell, and earth - as Satan and his band of rebel angels plot their revenge against God. At the center of the conflict are Adam and Eve, motivated by all too human temptations, but whose ultimate downfall is unyielding love.

Marked by Milton's characteristic erudition is a work epic both in scale and, notoriously, in ambition. For nearly 350 years it has held generation upon generation of scholars, students and readers in rapt attention and its profound influence can be seen in almost every corner of Western culture.
