#9: Thoughts on "When I Consider How My Light Is Spent" by John Milton

I went about memorizing that poem by reciting one line at a time, then reciting the poem I had memorized up to that point, then recited the next line then repeated.

I could not decipher a meaning at first only when I looked up the poem online did I see what the poem was trying to say. It makes sense in retrospect but requires knowledge of the language of the time and preferably the author's life as well.
