Sion Hill and Siloa's Brook are mentioned in Book I of John Milton's epic poem "Paradise Lost." Sion Hill is a reference to the biblical Mount Zion, which is associated with Jerusalem and the Temple of God.

Siloa's Brook is also a biblical reference, specifically to the stream where Jesus healed a blind man in the Gospel of John. In "Paradise Lost," these references are used to evoke a sense of the divine and holy, as well as to establish the Christian themes and motifs that pervade the poem.

Sion Hill:

  • Sion Hill is mentioned in line 11 of Book I of "Paradise Lost," where it is described as the "sacred Hill" of God's "own city," which is associated with "heav'nly flame" and "cherubic songs."
  • The reference to Sion Hill is a biblical allusion to Mount Zion, which is a hill in Jerusalem that was the site of the Temple of God and a symbol of his presence among his people.
  • In "Paradise Lost," Sion Hill is used to evoke a sense of the divine and holy, and to establish the religious and Christian themes that pervade the poem.

Siloa's Brook:

  • Siloa's Brook is mentioned in line 340 of Book I, where it is described as a "sacred spring" that runs through "this Eden," and is associated with the "Son of Heaven" and his "miracles divine."
  • The reference to Siloa's Brook is a biblical allusion to the stream where Jesus healed a blind man in the Gospel of John, which was seen as a miraculous act that demonstrated his divine power.
  • In "Paradise Lost," Siloa's Brook is used to further establish the Christian and religious themes of the poem, and to connect the story of Adam and Eve to the larger biblical narrative.
