MILTON by WALTER SAVAGE LANDOR

Poet Analysis

First Line: WILL MORTALS NEVER KNOW EACH OTHER'S STATION
Last Line: OF IRIS, COLOURING DIMLY LAKE AND FEN.
Subject(s): MILTON, JOHN (1608-1674);
Will mortals never know each other's station
Without the herald? O abomination!
Milton, even Milton, rankt with living men!
Over the highest Alps of mind he marches,
And far below him spring the baseless arches
Of Iris, colouring dimly lake and fen.
