Notes: 'Blind, infirm, and poor, depressed by the triumph of the principles which he most detested, Milton had determined to achieve the great purpose to which from early youth he had been self-devoted. His sonnet upon completing his twenty-third year, and the letter with which it was accompanied ... show that he was then looking forward to some great work. He had resolved to write a poem which should be national in character, and set forth his conception of the providential order of the world ... about 1641, his chief interest had come to be in a dramatic treatment of the fall of man ... In 1658 he settled down to the composition of 'Paradise Lost' [DNB]
