In purely poetic value, Paradise Regained is little inferior to its predecessor. There may be nothing in the poem that can quite touch the first two books of Paradise Lost for magnificence; but there are several things that may fairly be set beside almost anything in the last ten. The splendid "stand at bay" of the discovered tempter -- "'Tis true I am that spirit unfortunate" -- in the first book; his rebuke of Belial in the second and the picture of the magic banquet (it must be remembered that, though it is customary to extol Milton's asceticism, the story of his remark to his third wife and the Lawrence and Skinner sonnets, go the other way); above all, the panoramas from the mountaintop in the third and fourth; the terrors of the night of storm; the crisis on the pinnacle of the temple -- are quite of the best Milton, which is equivalent to saying that they are of the best of one kind of poetry. -- The Cambridge History of English and American Literature

This book contains physics and technology. It goes from theories of space that cannot be disproved and that make more sense day by day. It ranges from that to new words that had to be made to make physical sense of the world. It also ranges from simplifying theory names to shorter names to make physics easier when they become symbolized in the English language, to make physics and words a calculation and something that is provable and can be believed in. Prince John O'Donnell Jr. invented symbolizing English, and with his rights and funds from the book, he will fund monasteries to symbolize the words. And he will fund a children-and-adults game of cards from the words within and from the technology within that John O'Donnell Jr. created.Enhance your mind with the words of a brilliant man who envisions the future in an easy and fun way to read. This book really calms people down by instilling confidence in O'Donnell's leadership to lead us to new worlds. O'Donnell's will also gives us fun by creating this card game from the words and theories in the book itself. Please enjoy.

This is a hilarious collection of true stories of one towns fire department and other knee slapping events that took place in Espy Pennsylvania set back between the mid 1800s to early 1900s and brought together into one complete short story of events that ultimately leads up to a fire department who unknowingly sets out on foot to try and put out what could not be done. Though the names of the people and businesses have been changed, the names of the towns and the events that took place are real and have been compiled together to create one good book that will be talked about for years to come.
