Paradise Lost is an epic poem in blank verse by the 17th-century English poet John Milton (1608-1674). The first version, published in 1667, consisted of ten books with over ten thousand lines of verse. A second edition followed in 1674, arranged into twelve books (in the manner of Virgil's Aeneid) with minor revisions throughout and a note on the verification.
It is considered by critics to be Milton's major work, and it helped solidify his reputation as one of the greatest English poets of his time.
The poem concerns the biblical story of the Fall of Man: the temptation of Adam and Eve by the fallen angel Satan and their expulsion from the Garden of Eden. Milton's purpose, stated in Book I, is to "justify the ways of God to men".

𝓥𝓮𝓲𝓵𝓼 𝓸𝓯 𝓜𝓮𝓶𝓸𝓻𝔂║Lucifer x Reader
Once residing in a perfect paradise, Lucifer envisioned a world tethered to the fabric of his imagination. This dream, however, was not his alone; it was shared with a fellow seraphim named y/n. Together, the outcasts viewed creation through uniquely intertwined eyes, their bond growing ever deeper with the steady rhythm of time. But when divine retribution condemned Lucifer's fall, the two souls were torn apart. Millennia later, with her memories of their friendship erased, y/n knows him only as the devil. Through her entanglement with hell and the revelation of her forgotten past, she risks not only taking the fall from heaven but falling for a forbidden heart she once knew.

"There's a blaze of light in every word, it doesn't matter which you heard: the holy or the broken, 'Hallelujah.'"- Leonard Cohen The poems in this series center on two characters: I, the speaker, and You, the speaker's subject. I is not a specific gender or orientation. I is meant to mold to the reader's idea of who they would be. We follow I in not only a love story, one where love blossoms and lingers until its destruction, but a tale of self-discovery, where, after a long and arduous quest for it, I finally finds happiness.
