You mention him far more than you do Dante.” Milton’s prominence for Borges is clear from his ready response to Barnstone’s follow-up question, “When did you read Milton’s Paradise Lost?”:2 “My parents went to Europe in the year 1914. . . . I got a copy of Milton’s works in the Everyman’s Library edition, and instead of seeing Paris — I must have been fifteen at the time — I stayed in the hotel and read Paradise Lost, Paradise Regained, Samson Agonistes, and the sonnets,” to which he immediately added, “And I don’t regret it.”3 We glean from this characteristically pithy and playful response that Borges’s first exposure to Milton’s works was influential both because it came early in his life, during particularly impressionable years, and because his own bookish Parisian experience resembled Milton’s. Milton likely would have found some satisfaction in Borges’s first reading of his works. Most generally, that reading was","PeriodicalId":42710,"journal":{"name":"Milton Studies","volume":"58 1","pages":"183 - 200"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2018-02-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1353/MLT.2017.0010","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42763868","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

He has lured them away from God with only an “apple” (PL 10.485–87). But Satan’s claims for the simplicity of the fruit of the tree of knowledge are reductive. In fact, the fruit is only an apple according to Satan; no other speaker in Paradise Lost names it so.1 Elsewhere, Milton makes the fruit intentionally ambiguous — as “Ruddie and Gold” as an apple at one moment, as “downie” and “ambrosial” as a peach at another — but never finally classified one way or the other (PL 9.578, 851–52).2 In keeping the fruit of the Fall generic, Milton keeps its effects implicitly tied to both Nature’s general fecundity and Eve’s “fruitful Womb,” reminding readers of the full span of biblical history, from God’s predetermination of “each / Plant” and “every Herb” even “before it grew” in Genesis, through the possibility of humankind’s redemption through Eve’s descendants — Christ, and his followers (PL 5.388–90, 7.334–36).
