To Milton Analysis

Author: Poetry of Oscar Wilde Type: Poetry Views: 228

MILTON! I think thy spirit hath passed away
From these white cliffs, and high-embattled towers;
This gorgeous fiery-coloured world of ours
Seems fallen into ashes dull and grey,
And the age changed unto a mimic play
Wherein we waste our else too-crowded hours:
For all our pomp and pageantry and powers
We are but fit to delve the common clay,
Seeing this little isle on which we stand,
This England, this sea-lion of the sea,10
By ignorant demagogues is held in fee,
Who love her not: Dear God! is this the land
Which bare a triple empire in her hand
When Cromwell spake the word Democracy!

.: To Milton :.

Weird Eel- You don't know much about Wilde or Milton do you? Milton is John Milton- 17th Century poet and political activist. England was not Wilde's country, nor was his patriotic. He was Irish. Mentioning John Milton in prose is not uncommon; many before Wilde had done so because he was so prominent in his beliefs and the pamphlets he'd written.

.: :.

Maybe Milton was a political figure of some sort. Quite possible that Milton possessed some sort of chief persuassion over the city and its people and once held high morale for all. Since he is gone, everything seems fake or not worth doing.

I think Democracy had ruined it for Wilde; he seems very patriotic to his country (England?).
