IMHO, two of the three greatest works written in English are the King James Bible and Paradise Lost, the latter of which you can’t understand without Biblical knowledge.

True! Paradise Lost is indeed a classic. Milton was an marvelous writer.

Milton's poetry soars. It took my breath away the first time I read it.

I wonder if they still even teach it in English Lit courses?
