Paradise Lost

The poem explores themes of disobedience and redemption, beginning with humanity's fall from grace due to the forbidden fruit. It invokes a divine muse for inspiration to recount the grand narrative of creation and the struggle between good and evil. The speaker seeks to illuminate dark aspects of existence and elevate the human spirit, ultimately aiming to justify divine providence and the complexities of faith and morality. The work is a profound meditation on the relationship between humanity and the divine, set against a backdrop of biblical references.
