I keep wondering about the passage that sent a shiver down his spine from Milton. I recall reading "Why I write" but that must have bypassed my retention. I do..."

Hi Rhonda. The passage is early in the piece. Orwell says "When I was about sixteen I suddenly discovered the joy of mere words, i.e., the sounds of associations of words. The lines from Paradise Lost, 'So hee with difficulty and labour hard / Moved on: with difficulty and labour hee," which do not now seem to me so very wonderful, sent shivers down my backbone; and the spelling of "hee' for "he" was an added pleasure." It's always interesting to know the odd little bits that catch a writer's eye at a given time.]]> Searching for Sebald: Photography After W.G.
