Journey of Words

Found this on TED this morning and thought it worth passing along. Poets.org has more on C.K. Williams as well.

400 years ago today the writer of Paradise Lost was brought forth into this world.

Of Man’s first disobedience, and the fruit
Of that forbidden tree whose mortal taste
Brought death into the world, and all our woe.
Paradise Lost. Book i. Line 1.

Update: A post by John Piper on Milton
