Question

Why did milton's cries on his sonnet on his blindness?

Answer 1

On His Blindness" refers to the struggles John Milton had after he lost his sight. The

speaker of the poem feels he's lost his purpose, that he cannot work as well for God anymore, and he asks God for guidance as to what he should do. At the end of the poem, he gets the response he's been looking for, that God is happiest when people are obedient and do as best as they can.
