Gift Of Writing Carpe Diem Poem
372 words
The poem On his Blindness, written by John Milton
is considered, aside from Paradise Lost, one of
his best works. The way the poem was written did
not appeal to me, as it was somewhat hard to read.
Although I was not intrigued by the style of the

poem would be placed amongst the greatest of all
times, because of the way Milton expresses his
thoughts on him becoming entirely blind. The
sonnet was written i...

thing that cannot be denied was his devotion to
targeting the basic flaw in all good people that
inevitably causes their downfall. Similar to all
Shakespearian plays, K...
