Turned it into a chart.

Here it is - after nearly a decade posting here, I finally contribute with a chart. I am not a MS Paint bright talent, however, so forgive me if I have committed any crimes against the beauty of microsoftial design.

Reminder that Milton wrote in several languages other than English.

He was for a long time the last truly European English writer, one of the last who knew the beauty of the Latin world.

Only after Pound, Eliot and Joyce did the English world become aware of the Latin world again.
