ON TIME Produced by Donal O'Danachair, and David Widger "The Poetical Works of John Milton" by John Milton is a comprehensive collection of poems written during the 17th century. This volume includes various forms of poetry, such as sonnets, odes, and epics, exemplifying Milton's mastery of the English language and his thematic exploration of divinity, human experience, and morality. The collection features prominent works like "Paradise Lost" and "Lycidas," which delve into profound philosophical and theological issues. At the start of this collection, the reader is introduced to a transcriber’s note and a preface that contextualizes Milton's work within his time and details the structure of the anthology. The opening lines of Milton's poem "On the Morning of Christ's Nativity" set the stage for the themes that will be explored throughout the collection, such as the birth of Christ and the interaction between the divine and the human realm. Milton invokes muses and heavenly figures, showcasing his lyrical style and deep reverence for sacred themes while implicitly establishing the tone for the subsequent pieces that range from joyous celebration to sorrowful reflection.
