1634 Comus Everlasting Give Hiking Hung Lamps Lonely Lost Milton Stars Traveller


EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting image, first published in 1634, captures the essence of Milton's famous lines from his masque "Comus." The poet describes the stars as "The Stars that Nature hangs in Heav'n, and fills them with her everlasting oil, to give due light to the misled and lonely Traveler." Milton's words resonate deeply with the feeling of being lost in the night, surrounded by the vast expanse of the universe. The image of the stars hanging in the heavens, their lamps filled with everlasting oil, offers a sense of comfort and guidance to those who may be feeling lost or alone. The historical significance of this print is not to be understated. It is a visual representation of the poetic mastery of John Milton, who wrote "Comus" in 1634, during a time when the arts were flourishing in England. Milton's masque was a popular form of entertainment, often performed for royalty and the elite. The image of the stars against a dark night sky is a common theme in literature and art, and has been a source of inspiration for countless writers, poets, and artists throughout history. This print, with its intricate details and beautiful composition, invites us to pause and reflect on the beauty and mystery of the night sky. Whether you are an avid reader of Milton's works, a history buff, or simply someone who appreciates the beauty of the natural world, this print is a must-have for any collection. It is a reminder of the power of the written word, the beauty of the night sky, and the enduring allure of the stars.
