What to Focus On
- Milton began writing poetry at age ten.
- He studied at Cambridge and read widely after his education.
- He knew Latin, Greek, Italian, and English literature.
- Time is personified and addressed directly.
- "Envious Time" is a mythological allusion to Cronos.
- The poem contrasts temporal things with eternal things.
- Temporal things are temporary and mortal.
- Eternal things are divine and lasting.
- The poem uses contrast as a major idea.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Envious Time means a general feeling of time passing, not a mythological figure.
The poem On Time suggests that Time finally wins over everything.
Plummets refers to a general heavy object or a plumb line, so the line is only about weight.
