The Straits Times will be running a Poetry Page for maybe 15 weeks. It is quite interesting. I am always mystified by poetry. When they do not rhyme, it does not seems to be poetry. Paradise Lost is story of heaven. I thought it is prose as it is quite a thick book. Then I noticed the lines are in single sentence. So it is an incredibly long poetry and reads like prose. So it confusing.
It is also Paradise Lost that I found a lot of Angels and Archangels described in western occult books. So I think it is the key book that many western mystic use to explain their world.
