+Tanner Church much appreciated. These time stamps it much easier to align the audio with the text when reading along. I will note however that the audio does skip portions of the full text (maybe 5-10 lines at most) at times. Depending on the amount of detail listeners need, it may be in their best interest to pause the audio and read the portions that are skipped over (if you're listening in order to complete an assignment).
Studying this for my course. It is so much easier to read along with the audio, it prompts me to actually think about what is being said rather than just letting the words go in one ear and out the other!
Poetry, like written music, should not be read. It should be "sung" by an artist and listened to. Most people don't have what it takes to bring the written words to life. Many of these people recognise the poetry's "music" when they hear it though. Sound is processed faster by the brain than images and the brain doesn't have to "translate" the letter symbols into words as it does when you read a text.

Thanks so much for posting. I haven't read this for 40 years, I love the voice changes for characters. Only 30 min in, can't wait to hear more this afternoon,
princeicio It is indeed missing whole chunks of lines. I am reading along with it and have to pause when the narration skips 10-20 lines so I can read it myself.
@@NathanLongacre-jo6cx it's not only that. This version cuts almost every mention to Greek mythology, a bunch of references to ancient history and even a bunch of biblical references. It pretty much cuts the parts of the poem that stray from the main plot line, and it happens a lot. If you listen while you read the text you'll see how often you have to pause to read the lines that this version skips, it happens all the time in every book but the twelfth. I do still think it's a version worth listening to because of the superb voice acting, but it's missing a lot of important lines.
2:24:26 O thou, that, with surpassing glory crowned, Lookest from thy sole dominion like the God Of this new world; at whose sight all the stars Hide their diminished heads; to thee I call, But with no friendly voice, and add thy name, O Sun! to tell thee how I hate thy beams, That bring to my remembrance from what state I fell, how glorious once above thy sphere; Till pride and worse ambition threw me down 40 Warring in Heaven against Heaven's matchless King: Ah, wherefore! he deserved no such return From me, whom he created what I was In that bright eminence, and with his good Upbraided none; nor was his service hard. What could be less than to afford him praise, The easiest recompense, and pay him thanks, How due! yet all his good proved ill in me, And wrought but malice; lifted up so high I sdeined subjection, and thought one step higher 50 Would set me highest, and in a moment quit The debt immense of endless gratitude, So burdensome still paying, still to owe, Forgetful what from him I still received, And understood not that a grateful mind By owing owes not, but still pays, at once Indebted and discharged; what burden then O, had his powerful destiny ordained Me some inferiour Angel, I had stood Then happy; no unbounded hope had raised 60 Ambition! Yet why not some other Power As great might have aspired, and me, though mean, Drawn to his part; but other Powers as great Fell not, but stand unshaken, from within Or from without, to all temptations armed. Hadst thou the same free will and power to stand? Thou hadst: whom hast thou then or what to accuse, But Heaven's free love dealt equally to all? Be then his love accursed, since love or hate, To me alike, it deals eternal woe. 70 Nay, cursed be thou; since against his thy will Chose freely what it now so justly rues. Me miserable! which way shall I fly Infinite wrath, and infinite despair? Which way I fly is Hell; myself am Hell; And, in the lowest deep, a lower deep Still threatening to devour me opens wide, To which the Hell I suffer seems a Heaven. O, then, at last relent: Is there no place Left for repentance, none for pardon left? 80 None left but by submission; and that word Disdain forbids me, and my dread of shame Among the Spirits beneath, whom I seduced With other promises and other vaunts Than to submit, boasting I could subdue The Omnipotent. Ay me! they little know How dearly I abide that boast so vain, Under what torments inwardly I groan, While they adore me on the throne of Hell. With diadem and scepter high advanced, 90 The lower still I fall, only supreme In misery: Such joy ambition finds. But say I could repent, and could obtain, By act of grace, my former state; how soon Would highth recall high thoughts, how soon unsay What feigned submission swore? Ease would recant Vows made in pain, as violent and void. For never can true reconcilement grow, Where wounds of deadly hate have pierced so deep: Which would but lead me to a worse relapse 100 And heavier fall: so should I purchase dear Short intermission bought with double smart. This knows my Punisher; therefore as far From granting he, as I from begging, peace; All hope excluded thus, behold, in stead Of us out-cast, exil'd, his new delight, Mankind created, and for him this world. So farewell, hope; and with hope farewell, fear; Farewell, remorse! all good to me is lost; Evil, be thou my good; by thee at least 110 Divided empire with Heaven's King I hold, By thee, and more than half perhaps will reign; As Man ere long, and this new world, shall know.
Some parts are missing. In Dagon's description in Book I, the lines "...yet had his temple high / Reared in Azotus, dreaded through the coast / In Palestine, in Gath and Ascalon, / And Accaron and Gaza's frontier bounds," are left out.
He's reviling himself. He loathes that he's become a creature fallen so far, that beauty like Eve's and Eden's is something he hates and finds repulsive.
Listened to 25 min of this so far, and a lot of text is missing - at least compared to the 2014 Acturus Publishing Ltd edition that I own. Whole sections describing the demons are lost. What edition is this audio book?
This is missing parts of the poem. I'm just listening to have an audio to go along with the poem and there are sections skipped--I'm talking places where four to ten lines are skipped. This explains why this one is an hour and a half shorter than the other audio.
To whom the Angel with a smile that glow'd Celestial rosie red, Loves proper hue, Answer'd. Let it suffice thee that thou know'st Us happie, and without Love no happiness.
+Joel Adamson Ian McDirmid has been a classically trained actor longer than he's been a Star Wars icon. I think it's more accurate to say that the emperor's voice is like that of Satan and not the other way around. In either case, I do love the parallel
Deeply Epic & very Powerful Man. Ian McDiarmid is a God. once again his performance steals the "already awesome" show. lol, Sidious as Satan! Brilliant! This SOOO Seriously needs a Movie Adaption. Done properly though..
is there something wrong with the video? around 6:40:20 the video poops out, says its buffering, but just completely stops? has anyone else ran into this problem?
Great rendition, wonderful voice actors. However this is not "the entire poem." You should not mislead people into believing they are listening to the exact poem in its entirety when they are not. Be honest.
There seems to be a ethical dilemma whether or not think it appropriate to adapt this classical work. Two reasons stand obvious, the first being the wish of the writer John Milton that it not be made even into a drama play. And secondly, to not profane this divine work with the usual vulgar editorial modern directors are notorious for. I would be beyond myself with joy if a movie was made so long as they abided strictly to the text.
A GOOD movie could be soon done with 100% CGI. CGI is almost there. Would easily work for all characters but Adam and Eve, as they're human and The Uncanny Valley problem still exists.
@@NathanLongacre-jo6cx Blah, blah, blah...Milton couldn't have imagined modern cinema and its extroidinary visual effects. The only scenes that would be difficult would be the battle in Heaven. But honestly, Nathan, it sounds even ridiculous in audio: St. Michael and the other saints lifting a MOUNTAIN and dropping it on the cannon( ungentlemanly fighting by Satan. But what does one expect from the Eternal Serpent?) weilding Satan et al.!!. No. It's such a great story that it demands to be done in a cinematic setting. And if Milton doesn't like it he can press his case in court. They made LORD OF THE RINGS.....They can make PARADISE LOST. I LOVE Satan in this story. I listen to this audio book EVERY night and fall asleep to it. My fav parts are when the demons of Hell debate what to do. And each time Satan has thoughts of repentance, especially when he flies atop the Tree of Life as a cormorant(@2:22) and he sees The Garden of Eden and Eve and Adam(I think he sees Adam then). And he speaks of the central theme of the poem: HOPE vs. DESPAIR. Those who sin but repent through hope in God's forgiveness are forgiven. Those who despair and so have no hope and cannot repent are damned. Satan cannot bend his ego to worship God for eternity and so he is damned to Hell. He can never repent as it would never be an honest repentance. I love this epic poem.
@@NathanLongacre-jo6cx I dont believe Tolkien thought Sauron could be depicted. But he/it was. And VERY well for that matter. As many a filmaker-Stanley Kubrick most notably and his changing of THE SHINNING-I do NOT care what dead artists who's work is jn the public domain think what should or shouldn't be done with their work. If that were the case you'd have to throw out half of Shakespeare as he stole many of his ideas(Hamlet most notably is full of them) from Greek playrights. Milton could not begin to comprehend the IMAX cinema and futhermore the 3D cinema and more incredible things to come. By today's standards Milton was a religous fanatic. I cannot tolerate religion. But I love this work. Milton asserted that this work was inspired by The Holy Spirit as he contends he never edited or stumbled or stammered over his words; they flowed out of his mouth in a literal mystically inspired manner. That's so ABSURD!. And he wanted to illicit more respect for his masterpiece by not having it done on stage as if it would be sacrilage. And at that time(Im sure you know this Nathan) the national religion of England outlawed the Mystery Plays as childish superstition imposed by the Vatican to prevent people from knowing Christ but through The Pope and his evil minions. Milton was a "good Prodestant" and no doubt thought of evil Catholicism of The Mystery Plays when he pondered his poem being enacted as a drama. How's that for a good rationalization?. You cannot deny any of it if-as you say-you love and know this poem dearly. Even us, Nathan.....we cannot imagine the incredible wonders(horrors?) the future will bring. I give you the modern phone. Imagine bringing it back to my high school in 1982....not so long ago. A miracle in the palm of one's hand. What would Milton say about MODERN cinema?. Probably scared to death. But he couldnt imagine the future as neither you nor I can. Art pushes boundries. Make the film.
@@NathanLongacre-jo6cx I was just about to ask you how I can stay in contact with you. Though I disagree with you on Paradise Lost as a film, you are well-spoken. I usually avoid Facebook. But for Milton!?...the WORLD. Or at least my security....
Goose chase luc soft and brute everything already had for want of more, expulsion Redemption and a lowly yet worthy sacrifice SAVES US ALL if you might acknowledge
It’s shameful that British people didn’t vote John Milton among their 100 greatest Britons yet voted princess Diana as the third greatest Briton. In the 18th and 19th century he was considered the greatest poet England ever had. However, I understand now days the majority of Brits are atheist and not religious at all. I am too, but it shouldn’t make you think of the poet or poem as being any less great. It’s absolutely ridiculous that Britons and other people think less of John Milton now days because his epic poem was biblical.
A lot of the longer allusory passages have been cut (i.e. anytime the narrator goes on and on about great men or great works of classical literature). All the important action is still there, but if you're looking for a really close reading you'll be missing out on a lot of the less "exciting" parts. I still found it very good. I just read along with my copy and whenever a large part was skipped I would just pause and catch up before going on.
No if u look closely (especially in old german) the F looks like a S except the S doesnt have this little stripe/bar on the right. The germans actually had a total different handwriting, (im not referring to okd german print, but handwriting) they use the latin alphabet, but total different letters when writing with a pen, i've learned a little a while back, but i stopped because i didnt saw the point in going on with it, while nobody use it anymore, i think those letters were created because they are easy to write with a goosfeather or an inkpen ( excuse my english)
That's the thing. You can't. At least not effectively. That's why Satan is an idiot. He's blind to the futility of his defiance. Even though he's the most interesting guy in the story, he's still hopelessly ignorant.
So if you believe that question itself broke the Bible's truth, then ask the question, "Whose council do you fall under now if not under God's? Of yourself? And if that is so then what power lies in darkness and what weakness in the light -- since you may only seek counsel from self?" What truth do you believe in now? Keep this in mind, the greatest counsel for Satan was himself... and look where things are now...

@@howardking3601 it's a poem using biblical/Christian material but it isn't written in favour of Christians, aka u saying u can't swear within the context of this poem is invalid.

You are so right! I love his pictures. 😊
I seen his real sketches and drawing, and inspiration to me, it like he's been a witness to hell and heaven
Superb illustrations , one of the most accomplished illustrators I've seen

So that is Christopher Lee?
It is NOT Christopher Lee - although he would have been wonderful for the role of God!
No! He said: Denis Quilley and Ian McDiarmid
In my opinion, this is the best book written in the English language.

2:24:26
O thou, that, with surpassing glory crowned,
Lookest from thy sole dominion like the God
Of this new world; at whose sight all the stars
Hide their diminished heads; to thee I call,
But with no friendly voice, and add thy name,
O Sun! to tell thee how I hate thy beams,
That bring to my remembrance from what state
I fell, how glorious once above thy sphere;
Till pride and worse ambition threw me down 40
Warring in Heaven against Heaven's matchless King:
Ah, wherefore! he deserved no such return
From me, whom he created what I was
In that bright eminence, and with his good
Upbraided none; nor was his service hard.
What could be less than to afford him praise,
The easiest recompense, and pay him thanks,
How due! yet all his good proved ill in me,
And wrought but malice; lifted up so high
I sdeined subjection, and thought one step higher 50
Would set me highest, and in a moment quit
The debt immense of endless gratitude,
So burdensome still paying, still to owe,
Forgetful what from him I still received,
And understood not that a grateful mind
By owing owes not, but still pays, at once
Indebted and discharged; what burden then
O, had his powerful destiny ordained
Me some inferiour Angel, I had stood
Then happy; no unbounded hope had raised 60
Ambition! Yet why not some other Power
As great might have aspired, and me, though mean,
Drawn to his part; but other Powers as great
Fell not, but stand unshaken, from within
Or from without, to all temptations armed.
Hadst thou the same free will and power to stand?
Thou hadst: whom hast thou then or what to accuse,
But Heaven's free love dealt equally to all?
Be then his love accursed, since love or hate,
To me alike, it deals eternal woe. 70
Nay, cursed be thou; since against his thy will
Chose freely what it now so justly rues.
Me miserable! which way shall I fly
Infinite wrath, and infinite despair?
Which way I fly is Hell; myself am Hell;
And, in the lowest deep, a lower deep
Still threatening to devour me opens wide,
To which the Hell I suffer seems a Heaven.
O, then, at last relent: Is there no place
Left for repentance, none for pardon left? 80
None left but by submission; and that word
Disdain forbids me, and my dread of shame
Among the Spirits beneath, whom I seduced
With other promises and other vaunts
Than to submit, boasting I could subdue
The Omnipotent.
Ay me! they little know
How dearly I abide that boast so vain,
Under what torments inwardly I groan,
While they adore me on the throne of Hell.
With diadem and scepter high advanced, 90
The lower still I fall, only supreme
In misery: Such joy ambition finds.
But say I could repent, and could obtain,
By act of grace, my former state; how soon
Would highth recall high thoughts, how soon unsay
What feigned submission swore? Ease would recant
Vows made in pain, as violent and void.
For never can true reconcilement grow,
Where wounds of deadly hate have pierced so deep:
Which would but lead me to a worse relapse 100
And heavier fall: so should I purchase dear
Short intermission bought with double smart.
This knows my Punisher; therefore as far
From granting he, as I from begging, peace;
All hope excluded thus, behold, in stead
Of us out-cast, exil'd, his new delight,
Mankind created, and for him this world.
So farewell, hope; and with hope farewell, fear;
Farewell, remorse! all good to me is lost;
Evil, be thou my good; by thee at least 110
Divided empire with Heaven's King I hold,
By thee, and more than half perhaps will reign;
As Man ere long, and this new world, shall know.
The self sabotaging thought process going on here really hits home.

He's reviling himself. He loathes that he's become a creature fallen so far, that beauty like Eve's and Eden's is something he hates and finds repulsive.
Reign in hell , or serve in heaven, hmmm, yes gonna have to pack some sun screen and Gatorade.
Shitting on Shakespeare 💯

Listened to 25 min of this so far, and a lot of text is missing - at least compared to the 2014 Acturus Publishing Ltd edition that I own. Whole sections describing the demons are lost. What edition is this audio book?
i think its either a different edition or they left out some if the description just because its, quite a dense read. Thats what my teacher assumed
“Dagon”, “Blasted heath” how many terms did Lovecraft _borrow_ from here?
Dagon was a Sumerian Ocean God so Lovecraft might’ve gotten it from that. I’m sure he read this poem though so who knows
This is missing parts of the poem. I'm just listening to have an audio to go along with the poem and there are sections skipped--I'm talking places where four to ten lines are skipped. This explains why this one is an hour and a half shorter than the other audio.

+Joel Adamson Ian McDirmid has been a classically trained actor longer than he's been a Star Wars icon. I think it's more accurate to say that the emperor's voice is like that of Satan and not the other way around. In either case, I do love the parallel

Deeply Epic & very Powerful Man. Ian McDiarmid is a God. once again his performance steals the "already awesome" show. lol, Sidious as Satan! Brilliant! This SOOO Seriously needs a Movie Adaption. Done properly though..
better to reign in hell than serve in heaven.
Ooh, you're so bad, you really are.
Sa tan lol... for what delusion doest thou thrive beneath?
Satan has none of those options!
edgy
It is true only for the ruler of the hell; everyone else would be serving here or there.
is there something wrong with the video? around 6:40:20 the video poops out, says its buffering, but just completely stops? has anyone else ran into this problem?
Great rendition, wonderful voice actors. However this is not "the entire poem." You should not mislead people into believing they are listening to the exact poem in its entirety when they are not. Be honest.

Wow! Really great stuff. Thanks.
the greatest thing ever written in my opinion, oustide the bible and Augustine's Conffessions of course.
There seems to be a ethical dilemma whether or not think it appropriate to adapt this classical work. Two reasons stand obvious, the first being the wish of the writer John Milton that it not be made even into a drama play. And secondly, to not profane this divine work with the usual vulgar editorial modern directors are notorious for.
I would be beyond myself with joy if a movie was made so long as they abided strictly to the text.
A GOOD movie could be soon done with 100% CGI. CGI is almost there. Would easily work for all characters but Adam and Eve, as they're human and The Uncanny Valley problem still exists.
@@NathanLongacre-jo6cx Blah, blah, blah...Milton couldn't have imagined modern cinema and its extroidinary visual effects.
The only scenes that would be difficult would be the battle in Heaven. But honestly, Nathan, it sounds even ridiculous in audio: St. Michael and the other saints lifting a MOUNTAIN and dropping it on the cannon( ungentlemanly fighting by Satan. But what does one expect from the Eternal Serpent?) weilding Satan et al.!!.
No. It's such a great story that it demands to be done in a cinematic setting.
And if Milton doesn't like it he can press his case in court.
They made LORD OF THE RINGS.....They can make PARADISE LOST.
I LOVE Satan in this story. I listen to this audio book EVERY night and fall asleep to it.
My fav parts are when the demons of Hell debate what to do. And each time Satan has thoughts of repentance, especially when he flies atop the Tree of Life as a cormorant(@2:22) and he sees The Garden of Eden and Eve and Adam(I think he sees Adam then). And he speaks of the central theme of the poem: HOPE vs. DESPAIR.
Those who sin but repent through hope in God's forgiveness are forgiven. Those who despair and so have no hope and cannot repent are damned. Satan cannot bend his ego to worship God for eternity and so he is damned to Hell. He can never repent as it would never be an honest repentance.
I love this epic poem.
@@NathanLongacre-jo6cx I dont believe Tolkien thought Sauron could be depicted. But he/it was. And VERY well for that matter.
As many a filmaker-Stanley Kubrick most notably and his changing of THE SHINNING-I do NOT care what dead artists who's work is jn the public domain think what should or shouldn't be done with their work. If that were the case you'd have to throw out half of Shakespeare as he stole many of his ideas(Hamlet most notably is full of them) from Greek playrights.
Milton could not begin to comprehend the IMAX cinema and futhermore the 3D cinema and more incredible things to come.
By today's standards Milton was a religous fanatic. I cannot tolerate religion. But I love this work.
Milton asserted that this work was inspired by The Holy Spirit as he contends he never edited or stumbled or stammered over his words; they flowed out of his mouth in a literal mystically inspired manner.
That's so ABSURD!.
And he wanted to illicit more respect for his masterpiece by not having it done on stage as if it would be sacrilage. And at that time(Im sure you know this Nathan) the national religion of England outlawed the Mystery Plays as childish superstition imposed by the Vatican to prevent people from knowing Christ but through The Pope and his evil minions.
Milton was a "good Prodestant" and no doubt thought of evil Catholicism of The Mystery Plays when he pondered his poem being enacted as a drama.
How's that for a good rationalization?.
You cannot deny any of it if-as you say-you love and know this poem dearly.
Even us, Nathan.....we cannot imagine the incredible wonders(horrors?) the future will bring.
I give you the modern phone. Imagine bringing it back to my high school in 1982....not so long ago.
A miracle in the palm of one's hand.
What would Milton say about MODERN cinema?. Probably scared to death. But he couldnt imagine the future as neither you nor I can. Art pushes boundries.
Make the film.
@@NathanLongacre-jo6cx I was just about to ask you how I can stay in contact with you. Though I disagree with you on Paradise Lost as a film, you are well-spoken.
I usually avoid Facebook.
But for Milton!?...the WORLD. Or at least my security....
@@NathanLongacre-jo6cx I'll go to The Johm Milton reading room. Thanks for reminding me, Nathan.

quite big parts missing in the second book throughout reading the advisers' speeches
Just marking my place. 4:09:47
It’s shameful that British people didn’t vote John Milton among their 100 greatest Britons yet voted princess Diana as the third greatest Briton. In the 18th and 19th century he was considered the greatest poet England ever had. However, I understand now days the majority of Brits are atheist and not religious at all. I am too, but it shouldn’t make you think of the poet or poem as being any less great. It’s absolutely ridiculous that Britons and other people think less of John Milton now days because his epic poem was biblical.
No Problem here at 6:20:40.
See other stuff after this plays.
...this is just an adaptation right? This is not John Milton's original work? Thanks
It's an abridged version
Book Mark -- Book 9 @5:47:50
Pilgrims Progress far exceeds this.
Start of book 9 is missing?
will some please tell us which parts are not included in this abridged version? Berrymouse Sue Sauer
A lot of the longer allusory passages have been cut (i.e. anytime the narrator goes on and on about great men or great works of classical literature). All the important action is still there, but if you're looking for a really close reading you'll be missing out on a lot of the less "exciting" parts. I still found it very good. I just read along with my copy and whenever a large part was skipped I would just pause and catch up before going on.

My test tomorrow will be paradise lost
Why did they use f's for s's in the seventeenth century?
its not an f really, just a long s
No if u look closely (especially in old german) the F looks like a S except the S doesnt have this little stripe/bar on the right. The germans actually had a total different handwriting, (im not referring to okd german print, but handwriting) they use the latin alphabet, but total different letters when writing with a pen, i've learned a little a while back, but i stopped because i didnt saw the point in going on with it, while nobody use it anymore, i think those letters were created because they are easy to write with a goosfeather or an inkpen ( excuse my english)

From My Poems To Yours
4:15:59 (For myself)
I wonder how many times they've said "Woe".... or "lement"
lement said 0x
lol, granted
Well look at the subject matter. Got to figure there aren't many joyful's or satisfies.but woe and lament you could use in practically every sentence
One question.....
If God is an omnipotent and infinite being. HOW DO YOU REBEL??? I'm sorry, but why? That's the question that broke the bibles truth.
That's the thing. You can't. At least not effectively. That's why Satan is an idiot. He's blind to the futility of his defiance. Even though he's the most interesting guy in the story, he's still hopelessly ignorant.
So if you believe that question itself broke the Bible's truth, then ask the question, "Whose council do you fall under now if not under God's? Of yourself? And if that is so then what power lies in darkness and what weakness in the light -- since you may only seek counsel from self?"
What truth do you believe in now?
Keep this in mind, the greatest counsel for Satan was himself...
and look where things are now...

How dare you use profanity in connection with this Christian poem! Have you no soul? no sense of the sacred?
@@howardking3601 it's not a Christian poem
@@am-shak LOL! Not a Christian poem! What is it then?
@@howardking3601 it's a poem using biblical/Christian material but it isn't written in favour of Christians, aka u saying u can't swear within the context of this poem is invalid. The poem leaves a lot up for interpretation, and could be used by a Christian as a tool as much as it could for a satanist.
