À propos de cet audio
John Milton's On the Morning of Christ's Nativity is no ordinary Christmas poem. Written when he was just twenty-one, it reveals an early glimpse of the depth and ambition that would later shape Paradise Lost. Here, the nativity is not sentimental but cosmic: a quiet moment that echoes across heaven, earth, and myth.
This is poetry as vision—blending classical imagery, biblical themes, and rich musical language. Angels descend, stars pause in wonder, and the natural world falls into a hush. Pagan gods retreat into silence, as if even they recognize the shift in power. The newborn Christ is portrayed not as a helpless child but as a divine force whose presence alters the very fabric of time and meaning.
Milton's language is grand but not distant. Each stanza is alive with texture, rhythm, and the gravity of ideas beyond the page. This is not a poem that tells a story—it opens a door. And on the other side is a world both ancient and eternal, where poetry and theology walk hand in hand.
Listeners will find here not just a work of seasonal reverence but a meditative, imaginative journey. It's a bold start from a young poet already aware of the weight of words—and how they can shape both heaven and earth.
