This rift forces the poet to oscillate deliriously between two incompatible perspectives, at once affirming and denying the presence of spirit in what he creates. From one perspective, the act of creation is centered in God and the purpose of art is to imitate and praise the Creator. From the other perspective, the act of creation is centered in the human, in the built environment of the modern world. 606 $aCreation (Literary, artistic, etc.)$xHistory$y17th century 606 $aPoetry$xAuthorship$xHistory$y17th century 606 $aPoetry$xAuthorship$xPsychological aspects 606 $aHallucinations and illusions in literature 606 $aDelirium in literature 606 $aAesthetics, British 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aCreation (Literary, artistic, etc.)$xHistory 615 0$aPoetry$xAuthorship$xHistory 615 0$aPoetry$xAuthorship$xPsychological aspects. 615 0$aHallucinations and illusions in literature. 615 0$aDelirium in literature. 615 0$aAesthetics, British. 676 $a821/.4 686 $aHK 2575$2rvk 700 $aTeskey$b Gordon$f1953-$01045646 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910455394803321 996 $aDelirious Milton$92472091 997 $aUNINA
