Yes but Milton, like Shakespeare (whom I grossly ommitted from my preliminary list) wrote in iambic pentameter, or blank verse. It was structured and ordered.

I am not a fan of T.S . Eliot, eeeeee cumings or the rest of the decontructionists... form and structure help create beauty, chaos is ugliness..

T.S. Eliot was a Modernist (as opposed to a Post Modernist) and wouldn't have made hide nor hair of Deconstruction. :-) His work is highly structural and basically fetishes order.
