Poems by Milton Handwritten Notes Overview
The Poems by Milton handwritten notes cover two short poems from Kaleidoscope. On Time presents Time as a defeated rival before divine eternity. On Shakespear presents Shakespeare's writing as a living monument stronger than stone.
The notes focus on the chapter's main contrasts: temporal and eternal values, mortal decay and divine joy, physical tombs and living poetic fame.
On Time Revision Flow
On Time is easiest to revise as a movement from Time's devouring power to the soul's final triumph over death, chance and time.
| Side | Images or values | Answer cue |
|---|---|---|
| Temporal | false, vain, mortal dross, earthly grossness | Time can consume only temporary things. |
| Eternal | Truth, Peace, Love, joy, bliss, supreme throne | Divine goodness outlasts Time. |
| Human soul | heavenly guided soul, stars, triumph | The soul moves from earth to eternity. |
| Final winner | Eternity and divine joy | Time finally consumes itself. |
