On His Blindness
I have been struggling a bit with allusions, but I did really enjoy reading this weeks poems. I thought 'On His Blindness' was beautifully done, talking about how we should not put our talents to waste and we should remain obedient to God. My favorite line was the very first one - "When I consider how my light is spent". Milton is questioning how his 'light' is being used in the world. Some people will interpret this light as being his capability to see, but others will see it as his spiritual light. I love how the poem can go different ways depending on who reads it.

I like that line also. I was struggling at first at what that light was portraiture as. I think that you are dead on when you said it was a spiritual light i think it it too.
