An Epigraph

I thought I may preface the blog with these lines by Dryden, on Milton:


[Three poets in three distant ages born,
Greece, Italy, and England did adorn:
The
First, in loftiness of thought surpast;
The Next, in majesty; in both the Last.
The force of Nature cou'd no further go;
To make a
Third She joyn'd the former Two.]
