Читать книгу Visual Inspection - Matt Rader - Страница 25
ОглавлениеBy 1654, John Milton was completely blind. He titled his most famous poem of that period, “When I Consider How My Light is Spent”—a delightfully multivalent phrase that turns on both the light that vision afforded him and its diminishment, as well as the metaphor of his life and life’s work being kinds of light.
A later editor retitled the sonnet, “On His Blindness.”
By 1977, Ronald Johnson had completed a deep erasure of Milton’s masterpiece, Paradise Lost, which he published as Radi os.
The term “radio” comes from the combining form of the Latin noun “radius,” meaning ray or beam. Such as a ray of light. A sunbeam.
