Lydia Maria Child, Letters of Lydia Maria Child (ed. John Greenleaf Whittier, Wendell Phillips, Harriet Winslow Sewall), To the same. (search)

To the same. Norridgewock, September, 1817. I perceive that I never shall convert you to my opinions concerning Milton's treatment to our sex. Whether the ideas I have formed of that author be erroneous or not, they, are entirely my own. I knew Johnson as a violent opponent to Milton, both in political and religious concerns; but I had never seen, or heard, of any of his remarks upon his poetical productions. Much as I admire Milton, I must confess that Homer is a much greater favorite with me. Paradise lost is unquestionably the sublimest effort of human genius. It fixes us in a state of astonishment and wonder ; but it is not characterized by that impetuosity and animation which, I think, gives to poetry its greatest charm.
