On the other hand, we cannot suppose that the only thing standing between us and an intellectual's paradise is a lack of will power or a dearth of public grants.

另一方面，我们不该存在这样的推断，认为我们目前的社会和智慧的乐园间唯一的障碍，只是意志力量的缺乏或公共资助的不足。

She's alluding here, I think, to one of the most famous passages in Paradise Lost in which Milton is asserting nothing other than his poetic power.

我认为，她这里是在暗指，《失乐园》最著名的篇章之一，在这篇章中弥尔顿仅仅是在展示他诗句的力量。

Only after experiencing hell of training, in order to create a paradise out of the power of refining, and only the blood flow through the fingers, in order to pop up this world farewell - Tagore.

只有经历地狱般的磨炼，才能炼出创造天堂的力量，只有流过血的手指，才能弹出世间的绝唱——泰戈尔。

My guess is that our sense of Milton's power, however that power is imagined, is intimately related to the way in which Milton himself represents power in the characters of Satan and of God in Paradise Lost.

我猜我们对弥尔顿力量的理解，不管我们如何想象这力量，与弥尔顿在《失乐园》中所写撒旦和上帝两角色对,力量的展方式切密切相关。

That Satan is still able to doubt the legitimacy of God's power is a testimony to the complexity, I think, of the analysis of power in Paradise Lost. No power, not even God's power, can be irresistibly and indisputably proven.

我认为，撒旦尚能怀疑上帝力量的正统性,就证明了，《失乐园》中对力量的分析的复杂性，即使是上帝的力量，也不能被不可抗拒，无可置疑的证明。
