How happy is John Milton! After I read his sonnet “On His Blindness” by John Milton, I think he is one of the greatest poets of english literature like Shakespeare.

Although he is blind, he don’t  lose the joy of living as far as I get from the sonnet. He never complains and that is something which many people barely success, so I admire him.According to information I find while surfing the internet, he is the one who brings english in word most, this is amazing. It is ironic that the name of the devil in Devil’s Advocate is also John Milton, I wonder if it is a coincidence. According to a rumor he was blind as he read and wrote a lot, however according to another rumor he was punished by something and so he was blind. I do not know which is exactly true but I hope the first one is true.

I have never heard about him before. I am very pleased that we learn significant people and works like this and the others in the lesson.  

How could John Donne’s head work while writing The Flea? Or if he wrote this poem with his heart, how could his heart work? I really wonder it and worry about him and his lover. J

All joking aside, I admire him as he could think in this way. I mean who could associate a relation with  a flea before he did. If I were the lady he mention in the poet, I would think where he find me from. If I were the flea in the poem, I would think why me through many fleas in the nature. J Whatever, fortunately we are none of them and probably couldn’t be. I am not a critic, I just make some comments about the poem without wishing to lay down the law. I really like the poem because I like seeing different points of view.

This is most interesting poem I have ever read. I think by means of such poems we have much more fun in English Literature lessons this semestr.
