1. Of or pertaining to the poet Milton or his writings. 2. Resembling Milton's majestic style. [After John Milton (1608-1674).] "Siphoning off the grandeur of his Miltonic inspiration and transfusing it with foggily redundant obscenities, Lord-Wolff denatures evil into sniggering adolescent angst." Sybil Steinberg, Forecasts: Fiction, Publishers Weekly, Dec 20, 1999. This week's theme: eponyms, or words coined after people's names. ............................................................................. Death is not extinguishing the light; it is putting out the lamp because the dawn has come. -Rabindranath Tagore, poet, philosopher, author, songwriter, painter, educator, composer, Nobel laureate (1861-1941) Subscribe: http://wordsmith.org/awad/subscribe.html Unsubscribe: http://wordsmith.org/awad/unsubscribe.html Change address: http://wordsmith.org/awad/address-change.html Gift subscription: http://wordsmith.org/awad/gift.html Pronunciation: http://wordsmith.org/words/miltonic.wav http://wordsmith.org/words/miltonic.ram
