Part of the answer lies in the text itself. Milton wrote Paradise Lost to be heard. Blind and dictating to scribes, he composed for the ear: long, suspended sentences, rhythmic repetition, and a hypnotic use of enjambment. When spoken correctly, Milton’s verse has a trance-like quality—a rolling, incantatory power that precedes Romantic poetry by a century.
