MILTON'S SPIRIT, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: I dreamed that milton's spirit rose, and took
Last Line: Prisons and citadels.
Subject(s): Dreams; Milton, John (1608-1674); Nightmares


I DREAMED that Milton's spirit rose, and took
From life's green tree his Uranian lute;
And from his touch sweet thunder flowed, and shook
All human things built in contempt of man, --
And sanguine thrones and impious altars quaked,
Prisons and citadels.
