To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Sin b Indeed the mother of death, and may be allowed to be the por- laress of heU ; but when they stop the journey of Satan, a journey described as real, and when death offers him battle, the allegory is broken. That sin and death should have shown the way to liel^ might ha;re been allowed ; but they cannot facilitate the pas- aa^ by building a bridge, because the ^fficulty of Satan's pas- •sage is described as real and senstble, and the bridge ought to be only figurative. The hell asBigned to ...the rebellious spirits is described as not less local than the residence of man. It is pla- ined In some distant part of space, separated from the regions of harmony and order by a chaotic waste and an unoccupied vacu- ity ; but dn and death worked up a mole of aggravated soil, ce- jneotted irith a^fmlttu ; a work too bulky few ideal architects.
T^ unskilful allegory appears to roe one of the greatest faults of the poem ; and to this there ^vas no temptation, but the au- thor's c^nion of its beauty.
