Milton's Minor Poem

£8.50

"We are sometimes apt to regard poetry as an art which has little connection with everyday affairs, and there are many people who will cling to the notion that it is not for them because its subject matter is remote from their experience, and can only be understood by the favoured few who have the poetic temperament and delight to live with their heads in the clouds. nothing could be wider from the mark. All great poetry is, in its essence, an interpretation of life, and no attempt t throw light on those problems of existence that have faced mankind since the dawn of things. That is why we should study the lives of the poets, the conditions in which they lived, and their attitudes to their fellow men". W J Halliday.
