Welcome! I love John Milton in general as well. I've read Paradise Lost I think about 4 times now and each time it feels somehow more alive and "modern" for me. I remember first reading it for a college course and the professor noted these lines from near the end of Book 12 (628-632):YeeYee wrote: Wed Jul 29, 2026 12:54 amMy favorite book is paradise lost so far since i started reading about a year and a halfish ago if that says anything about me.
"[...] The Cherubim descended; on the ground

As he said, remove the "Cherubim" part and these lines could have come from Coleridge. It makes me want to read more romantic era English poetry, because it is the kind of thing that makes you be more skeptical of the power of translations (if your first language is English). Milton does this too of course.
I love anime works in meo style like Clannad, Love, Chunibyo & Other Delusions, Girls und Panzer, Strike Witches and now I am struck in Make Heroine ga Oosugiru! &Jaadugar: A Witch in Mongolia,Besides that, there are loads of other yuri series in the vein of K-ON, but I won't list them all here.
