John Milton. (1608 - 1674)

John Milton was an English poet, polemicist, man of letters, and a civil servant for the Commonwealth of England under Oliver Cromwell. He wrote at a time of religious and political upheaval and is best known for his epic poem Paradise Lost written in blank verse.

Echo is alluded to in John Milton's book Comus when he says "Sweet Echo, sweetest nymph, the liv'st unseen, Within thy aery shell, By slow Meander's margent green, And in violent-embroidered vale, Where the love-lorn nightingale, Nightly to thee her sad song mourneth well"
