When I consider Milton.

I have loved this book for most of my life. I met it first at school in 1959 and it has been a companion ever since not constantly, but often revisited.

"On His Blindness" was the first poem that made me want to write. After reading it, I think I was struck by Milton dealing with both his mortality and his blindess by trying to record what he could. I think realizes that it's ultimately futile, but I admired that he was so passionate about it that he kept trying.
