Paradise Lost

• Eve: “God is thy law, thou mine: to know no more is woman’s happiest knowledge and her praise."
• “flowers, garlands and sweet-smelling herbs/Époused Eve decked first her nuptial bed/And heavenly choirs the hymenean song"
• “more adorned, more lovely than Pandora"
• Sex has “sole properiety/In Paradise of all things Common sense"
• “Eve, who unseen/Yet all had heard, with audible lament"
• “Judge not what is best by pleasure"
• Paradise Lost, published 1667
• Denis Saurat


  2 conclusions of Milton; "the necessity of woman, for the satisfaction of normal desire” and “the inferiroity of woman, who remains, after all, the instrument of desire"
• John Leonard, 2013


  Milton praised and blamed for his bold insistence that A+E made love before the fall.
