#OnThisMonth in 1638, #JohnMilton gets his passport! 🛂📘🏖 Following his mother's death, John has decided to travel & jots down this couplet on the back of the letter enclosing his passport: 'Fix here ye overdated spheres That wing the restless foot of time.' 👩🚒📆🪐🌍🪽🦶⏳️
📚✍️ I'm currently reading @for_fi's POETIC JUSTICE, a witty historical mystery involving the poet Ovid, with great pleasure. Review to follow. Meantime, her other fiction is on a deal 👇
📚✍️🔥➰️ 'This book is most deserving of burning; its author, of the gallows.' So wrote the Earl of Bridgwater 👇 in his copy of #JohnMilton's DEFENCE OF THE ENGLISH PEOPLE (for regicide). As a child, the Earl acted in Milton's COMUS. In 1660, Milton's books were indeed burned.

Milton is, quite simply, the greatest poet who has written in English. If you are indifferent to Milton, you are indifferent to poetry.
I love it so much. All my favourite bits are like this: crystal battlements, angels being thrown out of heaven, the sense of scale and grandeur. There's nothing else like it.

I think it’s the way the vast - yes, epic - drama among the angels is balanced by the intimate human drama of Adam & Eve. And then of course the play of ideas. Not to mention the extraordinary things Milton does with language, which may be the most remarkable thing about it

I’m sort of on track, well into draft 2 of my second Ovid book. It’s the point where I most doubt myself as I hold up to the light the ideas that seemed so good a few weeks ago…
Time for a writerly check in ✅ #HFChitChat Me? I somehow managed to write a new book (rough draft), workshop it, and really dig into the outline/synopsis. Time to Second Draft—I love this part. So, of course, brilliant new idea comes knocking. 🤷🏻♀️
