Today is the Puritan poet's 400th birthday. To honor him, we recommend a trip to the Milton Reading Room at Dartmouth College . There, you'll find a beautifully annotated version of his masterwork, Paradise Lost.
The last lines of the poem describe Adam and Eve's expulsion from the Garden of Eden, which William Blake so beautifully illustrated: "They hand in hand with wandring steps and slow, / Through Eden took thir solitarie way."
