Zodiac Sign Leo

Leo, August 20. In the life of those born on this day, events often occur that they are forced to hide from others.
Sometimes, having plucked up the courage, they find the strength to publicly confess what they have done, but this is extremely rare, so most of those born on this day are doomed to loneliness, despite the fact that they manage to achieve considerable success in the business field and in relationships with the opposite sex.
Sometimes the nature of the secret that dominates them is incomprehensible even to themselves.
The feeling of anxiety depresses their consciousness, interferes with making constructive decisions, mistakes follow one after another. In this case, they need to delve into the nooks and crannies of their memory and try to determine the causes of self-doubt.
You can do it simply - take a piece of paper and, like in school, write a short essay on the topic: "What prevents me from living." Even such a revelation alone with oneself will help at least partially get rid of the burden of accumulated problems.

John Milton's allegorical poem "Paradise Lost" is an outstanding work of world literature, a grandiose epic about the uprising of fallen angels and the fall of man.
The first edition of "Paradise Lost " was published on August 20, 1667 in ten books, the second, slightly revised and enlarged, in twelve (1674): the seventh and tenth books were divided and accordingly formed the eighth, eleventh and twelfth.
The book was republished a huge number of times and translated into many languages.
Based on the poem, M.Konstantin's ballet and Krzysztof Penderecki's opera were written, and numerous performances were staged. For the adaptation of the poem itself, no one has taken it, although some of the themes from "Lost Paradise" have been used in the cinema many times.
Milton wrote a continuation - "Returned Paradise." It is believed that in both poems reflected a turbulent political life in England and the fate of the author.
Meaning
In contrast to the heroic epics of Homer and medieval epics, as well as the poem of Dante, "Paradise Lost" does not give scope to the creative fiction of the poet. The Puritan Milton chose a biblical story and passed it according to the words of the Scriptures; In addition, his characters belong mostly to the superhuman domain and do not allow realism of the descriptions.
The great meaning of "Paradise Lost" is in the psychological picture of the struggle between heaven and hell. The violent political passions of Milton helped him create a grandiose image of Satan, whose thirst for freedom brought to evil. The first song of "Paradise Lost", where the defeated enemy of the creator is proud of his fall and builds a pandemonium, sending threats to the sky - the most inspired in the entire poem and served as the primary source of Byron's demonism and all romantics in general.
