    79. One might add that Milton’s creative life was apparently influenced strongly by a visit to Italy (Rome in particular) during his youth; see Parker (1968, Vol. 1, pp. 169-182) and Freeman & Low (1984, pp. 87-148). Also, Milton wrote Paradise Lost after he had become blind (cf. the fates of Oedipus and of Faust).
    80. S. Freud (1914a, S.E., 13, p. 211). One wonders whether Freud ever read Shakespeare’s powerful comment about those who get no pleasure from music:
The man that hath no music in himself,
Nor is not moved with concord of sweet sounds,
Is fit for treasons, stratagems, and spoils;
The motions of his spirit are dull as night,
And his affections dark as Erebus.
Let no such man be trusted.
