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.
