On His Blindness Comments

Excellent poem, Pondering upon is the best way to read Milton.

Great lines! An insightful piece of poetry.......

A great poem. Meaningful message.

Loved this!

I agree Milton's description of blindness. How light means to them. How visualisation through soul happens and how patience and wait play key roles.

They also serve who only stand and wait....

wow

I first read this poem as a young man.

Is one of the best known of the sonnets of john milton

At 15 years old I was the only pupil in the class to learn this poem which impressed my English teacher I am 72 now and have always being able to recite the 1st 4 lines and the end line. I guess years of life have taken its toll although I am not blind the poem gave me an insight to life itself. Will I be the one who will be served for standing and waiting or be served for helping others along the way.

I agree with Harvey Ching's comment below. Now I know it is a computer-generated voice which I hear. Not as good as a person reading. Milton's sonnet is a classical description of blindness. He tries to accept the disability.

The video supplied apparently utilized a computer generated voice. Those can never give a proper rendering of any poem. A human reader... who knows how to deliver an interpretive rendering of a poem is needed. (Few, I fear, know how to really read poetry- to make it come alive!)
