  THE ARGUMENT 
  THIS first Book proposes, first in brief, the whole subject – Man’s disobedience, and the loss thereupon of Paradise, wherein he was placed: then touches the prime cause of his fall – the Serpent, or rather Satan in the Serpent; who, revolting from God, and drawing to his side many legions of Angels, was, by the command of God, driven out of Heaven, with all his crew, into the great Deep. Which action passed over, the Poem hastens into the midst of things; presenting Satan, with his Angels, now fallen into Hell – described here not in the Centre (for heaven and earth may be supposed as yet not made, certainly not yet accursed), but in a place of utter darkness, fitliest called Chaos. Here Satan, with his Angels lying on the burning lake, thunderstruck and astonished, after a certain space recovers, as from confusion; calls up him who, next in order and dignity, lay by him: they confer of their miserable fall. Satan awakens all his legions, who lay till then in the same manner confounded. They rise: their numbers; array of battle; their chief leaders named, according to the idols known afterwards in Canaan and the countries adjoining. To these Satan directs his speech; comforts them with hope yet of regaining Heaven; but tells them, lastly, of a new world and new kind of creature to be created, according to an ancient prophecy, or report, in Heaven – for that Angels were long before this visible creation was the opinion of many ancient Fathers. To find out the truth of this prophecy, and what to determin thereon, he refers to a full council. What his associates thence attempt. Pandemonium, the palace of Satan, rises suddenly built out of the Deep: the infernal Peers there sit in council. 
  Of Man’s first disobedience, and the fruit 
  Of that forbidden tree whose mortal taste 
  Brought death into the World, and all our woe, 
  With loss of Eden, till one greater Man 
  Restore us, and regain the blissful seat, 
  Sing, Heavenly Muse, that, on the secret top 
  Of Oreb, or of Sinai, didst inspire 
  That shepherd who first taught the chosen seed 
  In the beginning how the heavens and earth 
  Rose out of Chaos: or, if Sion hill 
  Delight thee more, and Siloa’s brook that flowed 
  Fast by the oracle of God, I thence 
  Invoke thy aid to my adventurous song, 
  That with no middle flight intends to soar 
  Above the Aonian mount, while it pursues 
  Things unattempted yet in prose or rhyme. 
  And chiefly thou, O Spirit, that dost prefer 
  Before all temples the upright heart and pure, 
  Instruct me, for Thou know’st; Thou from the first 
  Wast present, and, with mighty wings outspread, 
  Dove-like sat’st brooding on the vast Abyss, 
  And mad’st it pregnant: what in me is dark 
  Illumine, what is low raise and support; 
  That, to the heighth of this great argument, 
  I may assert Eternal Providence, 
  And justify the ways of God to men. 
  Say first – for Heaven hides nothing from thy view, 
  Nor the deep tract of Hell – say first what cause 
  Moved our grand Parents, in that happy state, 
  Favoured of Heaven so highly, to fall off 
  From their Creator, and transgress his will 
  For one restraint, lords of the World besides. 
  Who first seduced them to that foul revolt? 
  The infernal Serpent; he it was whose guile, 
  Stirred up with envy and revenge, deceived 
  The mother of mankind, what time his pride 
  Had cast him out from Heaven, with all his host 
  Of rebel Angels, by whose aid, aspiring 
  To set himself in glory above his peers, 
  He trusted to have equalled the Most High, 
  If he opposed, and with ambitious aim 
  Against the throne and monarchy of God, 
  Raised impious war in Heaven and battle proud, 
  With vain attempt. Him the Almighty Power 
  Hurled headlong flaming from the ethereal sky, 
  With hideous ruin and combustion, down 
  To bottomless perdition, there to dwell 
  In adamantine chains and penal fire, 
  Who durst defy the Omnipotent to arms.

這部作品最令人印象深刻的是其對“距離感”的精妙處理。作者成功地在敘述者與事件之間,以及讀者與人物之間,設立瞭一道幾乎無法逾越的透明屏障。我們仿佛站在一個極高的山頂上俯瞰下方的世界,能看清所有細節的運作——那些痛苦、那些掙紮、那些徒勞的希望——但我們卻無法伸手去觸碰或乾預分毫。這種高高在上的疏離感,反而加劇瞭事件的悲劇性,因為它強調瞭個體在宏大敘事中的無足輕重。人物的對話極其精煉,每一個字都像從極度匱乏的資源中提煉齣來,充滿瞭經濟學上的效率,沒有一句廢話,卻也因此顯得異常陌生和疏遠。我時常覺得,我讀的不是故事,而是一份古老的、經過反復修訂的法律文書,它規定瞭世界的運行規則,而這些規則是如此的嚴苛和不近人情,以至於我們隻能在閱讀中,體驗一種被判瞭終身監禁的清晰預感。這本書需要你進入一種高度集中的、幾乎是宗教性的專注,纔能領略它那近乎殘酷的完美秩序。
評分我必須承認,這本書對普通讀者的友好度幾乎為零。它拒絕提供任何輕鬆的入口,就像一座被迷霧環繞的城堡,入口處布滿瞭晦澀難懂的符號和跨度極大的時間跳躍。我一度懷疑自己是否抓住瞭作者拋齣的任何一條有效綫索。它的結構是破碎的,敘事角度如同棱鏡般摺射,讓你在不同的人稱和時間綫之間不斷切換,每一次切換都帶來新的睏惑和更深的迷霧。這不像是講故事,更像是在解構故事本身,把情節的骨架拆散,隻留下那些冰冷的、堅硬的結構件,任由讀者去感受那種冰冷的數學美感。我感覺自己像個考古學傢,小心翼翼地清理著沙土,試圖從那些殘缺的陶片中拼湊齣一個遙遠文明的麵貌,但最終發現,或許根本就沒有一個完整的“麵貌”可以被復原。它挑戰瞭閱讀的習慣,迫使你停止被動接受,轉而主動去構建意義。對於那些喜歡清晰脈絡和明確主題的讀者來說,這本無疑會是一場災難性的體驗,但對於尋求智力挑戰和哲學思辨的人來說,這種拒絕被理解的姿態本身,反而成瞭一種獨特的魅力。
評分這本書的文字如同冰冷的溪流,蜿蜒著穿過我乾涸的心田,留下一片寜靜而又難以言喻的荒蕪。它並非那種能讓你拍案叫絕、熱血沸騰的作品,相反,它更像是一麵古老的鏡子,映照齣的卻是我們內心深處那些不願直視的陰影與裂痕。作者的筆觸極其剋製,每一個詞語的堆砌都仿佛經過瞭精密的計算,既不顯多餘,也絕不敷衍。我花瞭很長時間纔適應這種近乎禁欲係的敘事節奏,起初總想從中尋找一個明確的衝突點或高潮,但這本書似乎壓根就不屑於設置這樣的“陷阱”。它更像是在描繪一種存在性的疲憊,那種日復一日、年復一年,你明知前方是虛無,卻依然不得不邁步前行的宿命感。閱讀的過程更像是一種冥想,需要極大的耐心去捕捉那些潛藏在字裏行間,關於時間流逝、記憶腐蝕的微妙暗示。那些場景的描繪,比如一場永無止境的雨,或是一座被遺棄的鍾樓,都帶著一種令人窒息的象徵主義重量,讓人感覺自己正在被緩慢地拉入一個由作者精心編織的、既熟悉又陌生的夢境之中,醒來時,周遭的一切似乎都濛上瞭一層褪色的灰。
評分這本書的情緒密度高得驚人,但奇怪的是,它幾乎不流露任何外顯的“感情”。作者似乎對那些大喊大叫的悲歡離閤不感興趣,他聚焦於更微觀、更地質學般緩慢的改變。比如,對一處廢棄花園裏苔蘚生長的描寫,其細緻程度堪比顯微鏡下的觀察,但在這苔蘚的微觀世界裏,卻蘊含著關於衰敗和永恒的宏大哲學命題。我讀到一些段落時,需要反復迴溯,不是因為句子太長或結構復雜,而是因為作者總能在一句平淡的陳述後,植入一個令人脊背發涼的洞察。這種感覺就像是你在晴朗的天空下行走,突然腳下的地麵裂開瞭一道縫隙,你從縫隙裏瞥見瞭一眼深淵,然後縫隙又迅速閤攏,隻留下你心口劇烈的悸動。我特彆欣賞其中對於“沉默”的描繪,那不是沒有聲音,而是一種充滿壓力的空白,比任何喧囂都更具穿透力,讓讀者在字裏行間感受到那種被巨大無形力量壓迫的窒息感。
評分如果用一種視覺藝術來類比,這本書絕對不是油畫那種濃墨重彩,它更像是早期德式錶現主義的黑白素描,綫條淩厲而剋製,光影的對比被推到極緻,卻幾乎沒有中間調的灰色地帶。它探討的主題,關於自由的代價,關於知識的沉重,都以一種近乎冷酷的客觀性呈現齣來,仿佛作者本人也深陷其中,卻選擇用最精準、最冰冷的科學語言去記錄這場私人浩劫。閱讀過程中,我腦海中不斷浮現齣的是宏大建築的冰冷幾何結構——那些筆直的綫條、精確的角度,以及它們投射在地麵上那些巨大而清晰的陰影。這本書要求讀者脫下所有主觀的溫情外衣,直麵那些硬邦邦的、不可迴避的現實睏境。它不會提供慰藉,也不會許諾救贖,隻是忠實地記錄瞭某種文明崩潰前夜的精確測量數據。讀完後,你的內心不會感到溫暖,反而會有一種被徹底“消毒”後的空曠感,需要時間去重新學習如何呼吸那些帶有煙火氣的空氣。
