When Milton’s Death, poised at the gates of hell, upturns his nostril to snuff the smell of mortal change on earth, we find a strikingly compressed nexus of theology, ontology, cosmology, and intertextuality in Paradise Lost. The primordial snuff is Death’s response to his mother, Sin, who, with Satan’s success in tempting Adam and Eve, feels “new strength within me rise, / Wings growing, and dominion given me large / Beyond this deep” (10.243–45) and urges Death to go with her to earth, “For Death from Sin no power can separate” (10.251).1 Death, a perpetually ravenous “meagre shadow” (10.264), needs no further encouragement, avowing:

“John Milton, Englishman” figures regularly in the works of Argentine Jorge Luis Borges, from his early newspaper writings to his late poems, through direct quotation and indirect reference.1 Borges’s translator, friend, and aficionado Willis Barnstone received no demurral from the septuagenarian Borges when he remarked that, “In various conversations and so frequently in your writing you mention Milton. You mention him far more than you do Dante.” Milton’s prominence for Borges is clear from his ready response to Barnstone’s follow-up question, “When did you read Milton’s Paradise Lost?”:2 “My parents went to Europe in the year 1914. . . . I got a copy of Milton’s works in the Everyman’s Library edition, and instead of seeing Paris — I must have been fifteen at the time — I stayed in the hotel and read Paradise Lost, Paradise Regained, Samson Agonistes, and the sonnets,” to which he immediately added, “And I don’t regret it.”3 We glean from this characteristically pithy and playful response that Borges’s first exposure to Milton’s works was influential both because it came early in his life, during particularly impressionable years, and because his own bookish Parisian experience resembled Milton’s. Milton likely would have found some satisfaction in Borges’s first reading of his works. Most generally, that reading was

In book 10 of Milton’s Paradise Lost, Satan, recently returned to hell after his exploits in Eden, brags to his infernal cronies that his seduction of Adam and Eve was wondrously simple. He has lured them away from God with only an “apple” (PL 10.485–87). But Satan’s claims for the simplicity of the fruit of the tree of knowledge are reductive. In fact, the fruit is only an apple according to Satan; no other speaker in Paradise Lost names it so.1 Elsewhere, Milton makes the fruit intentionally ambiguous — as “Ruddie and Gold” as an apple at one moment, as “downie” and “ambrosial” as a peach at another — but never finally classified one way or the other (PL 9.578, 851–52).2 In keeping the fruit of the Fall generic, Milton keeps its effects implicitly tied to both Nature’s general fecundity and Eve’s “fruitful Womb,” reminding readers of the full span of biblical history, from God’s predetermination of “each / Plant” and “every Herb” even “before it grew” in Genesis, through the possibility of humankind’s redemption through Eve’s descendants — Christ, and his followers (PL 5.388–90, 7.334–36). When Satan introduces the “goodly” tree’s “apples” to Eve as “fair,” he seeks to
在米尔顿的《失乐园》第10本书中，撒旦在伊甸园的事迹结束后，最近回到了地狱，他向地狱般的密友吹嘘说，他对亚当和夏娃的诱惑非常简单。他仅仅用一个“苹果”就引诱他们离开了上帝（PL 10.485-87）。但撒旦对知识之树果实的简单性的主张是还原性的。事实上，根据撒旦的说法，这种水果只是一个苹果；在《失乐园》中，没有其他演讲者这样称呼它。1在其他地方，米尔顿故意让这种水果模棱两可——一会儿是苹果的“Ruddie and Gold”，一会儿是桃子的“downie”和“ambrosial”——但从未最终以这样或那样的方式分类（PL 9.57851-52）。2为了保持秋天的水果的通用性，米尔顿将其影响隐含地与大自然的普遍多产和夏娃的“多产的女人”联系在一起，提醒读者圣经历史的全貌，从《创世纪》中上帝对“每一株植物”和“每一种草本植物”的预先定义，甚至“在它生长之前”，到夏娃的后代——基督，以及他的追随者（PL 5.388–90，7.334–36）。当撒旦向夏娃介绍“善良”树的“苹果”是“公平的”时，他试图
