British writer and poet who is best know for his "Paradise Lost," 1667. His work is generally regarded as surpassed only by Shakespeare.
He was the son of a scrivener, one of six kids of whom three lived. He was a beautiful child with a good education who continued on to Cambridge where he lived so chaste a life that he was given the nickname of "lady." He lived at home from 1632-1638 when his mom died. As a gentleman, he traveled for a year.
Puritanical and serious, he married 17-year-old Mary in early 1643. She left him one month later but returned in 1644. They had four kids, the first born in July 1646. One of the boys died and after the fourth birth in May 1652, Mary died.
A tutor and writer, Milton was generally beset by money problems. He married his second wife on 22 November 1656 and was widowed a second time when she died in childbirth 15 months later. He married his third and last wife in February 1663; a young sensible girl, Elizabeth Minshull, who made his last years comfortable.
Milton became more radical in his views as he aged, becoming the master of invective. Losing his sight from his mid-30s, probably from retinal detachment, by March-April 1652 he was wholly blind and worked through secretaries. He adapted well to his blindness, but gout was a torment. Milton spent his last nine years in a cottage (now a museum) and died on 8 November 1674, Chalfont St. Giles, England.

Your Lasso of Fate – 9 (The Hermit)
Hermit tarot card denotes someone who is wise beyond their years, a true old soul. They are often on a spiritual quest for truth and enlightenment. They connect with their inner light through reading, writing, teaching and mentoring, and they consider life to be a big mystery. This is someone who spends a lot of time alone, however, they don’t consider themselves lonely. They thrive in their solitude as they often spend this time writing and reading. Hermit people have heightened sensitivities and need to prove their worth through service and hard work. They tend to be meticulous and over-critical of themselves, fixating on unnecessary details rather than seeing the big picture.
