The poem
When I consider how my light is spent Ere half my days in this dark world and wide, And that one talent which is death to hide Lodg'd with me useless, though my soul more bent To serve therewith my Maker, and present My true account, lest he returning chide, "Doth God exact day-labour, light denied?" I fondly ask. But Patience, to prevent That murmur, soon replies: "God doth not need Either man's work or his own gifts: who best Bear his mild yoke, they serve him best. His state Is kingly; thousands at his bidding speed And post o'er land and ocean without rest: They also serve who only stand and wait."
Analyzing the poem of John Miltion When I Consider..
THE POEM IS INDEED A WONDERFUL CREATION FOR MILTON HAS VERY SKILLFULLY EXPRESSED HIS PERSONAL EMOTIONS OF FEAR DOUBT AND AT THE SAMA TIME HAS SOUGHT THE SOLUTION IN THE FORM OF ACCEPTANCE OF "MILDYOKE" AND UNBREAKABLE FAITH IN GOD
love for GOD
I just think that his poem has alot to do with his love for GOD for giving him a talent for poetry.
English Literature
On His Blindness is a very captivating sonnet by John Milton.It reminds us of our innate philosophical calmness and Biblical awareness in literary effulgence and tranquillity as well to a greater extent of beauty and content .Milton transcends the realm of humanism in this sonnet in a paramount fashion of realisation and equipoise .Thus the beauty of sonnet lies in restoration of faith in an individual capacity for excellence .
