Question

What does Milton mean “that one talent” in the third line of “On His Blindness”

Answer 1

Answer:

The expression 'that one talent’ in the poem 'On His Blindness' means is the talent of writing. The poet feels he had exceptional writing abilities, which he did not use optimally. The poet lost his eye sight in his fifties; the poet felt he could have better used his eyesight in writing something to praise God.
