Paradise Lost

Of Man's first disobedience, and the fruit

Of that forbidden tree whose mortal taste

Brought death into the World, and all our woe,

With loss of Eden, till one greater Man

Restore us, and regain the blissful seat,

Sing, Heavenly Muse, that, on the secret top

Of Oreb, or of Sinai, didst inspire

That shepherd who first taught the chosen seed

In the beginning how the heavens and earth

Rose out of Chaos: or, if Sion hill

Delight thee more, and Siloa's brook that flowed

Fast by the oracle of God, I thence

Invoke thy aid to my adventurous song,

That with no middle flight intends to soar

Above th' Aonian mount, while it pursues

Things unattempted yet in prose or rhyme.

Ce grand poème épique, écrit par Milton dans la détresse et la cécité, inspira à Chateaubriand, en 1836, une traduction intégrale et extrêmement fidèle, où se retrouve le souffle du chef-d’œuvre. Elle est ici proposée en vis-à-vis du texte anglais, accompagnée d’une importante introduction et de très précieuses notes d’éclaircissement de Claude Mouchard.John Milton (1608-1674) est l’un des géants de la poésie anglaise. Auteur de nombreux pamphlets politiques et sociaux, il fait preuve, en plein XVIIe siècle, d’une grande modernité. Mais son chef d’œuvre est Le Paradis perdu. L’influence de Milton sera déterminante pour la littérature romantique et, plus particulièrement, pour le poète John Keats.

Le Paradis Perdu

Areopagitica

I, WHO erewhile the happy Garden sung

By one man's disobedience lost, now sing

Recovered Paradise to all mankind,

By one man's firm obedience fully tried

Through all temptation, and the Tempter foiled

In all his wiles, defeated and repulsed,

And Eden raised in the waste Wilderness.

Paradise Regained

In Blankversen erzählt John Milton vom göttlichen Heilsplan, an dessen Ende die Befreiung des Menschen durch das Opfer Jesus Christi steht.
