gpt2 Milton (1)

Translate from John Milton's Paradise Lost verse to Anglo-Saxon-style alliterative English verse (dubbed Perished Paradise). Example translation, from the original:

"Of Mans First Disobedience, and the Fruit
Of that Forbidden Tree, whose mortal tast
Brought Death into the World, and all our woe,
With loss of Eden, till one greater Man
Restore us, and regain the blissful Seat,
Sing Heav'nly Muse, that on the secret top
Of Oreb, or of Sinai, didst inspire
That Shepherd, who first taught the chosen Seed,
In the Beginning how the Heav'ns and Earth
Rose out of Chaos: or if Sion Hill
Delight thee more, and Siloa's brook that flow'd
Fast by the Oracle of God; I thence
Invoke thy aid to my adventrous Song,
That with no middle flight intends to soar
Above th' Aonian Mount, while it pursues
Things unattempted yet in Prose or Rhime."

to alliterative and assonant:

"1|Man's first folly, the fateful fruit's taste,
From forbidden tree's tempting twig it came,
Death and doom dealt, despair in our world,
Eden erased, exalted man to mend,
Restoring realms of radiant bliss, sing,
Sacred muse, who soared on secret summits,
Oreb, Sinai, sharing whispered wisdom,
With shepherds, teaching truths to chosen kin,
Heavens and earth hewn from harrowing haze,
Sion's slopes, Siloa's silver stream,
Flowing fast by God's grand guiding hand,
Grant thy aid to my aspiring anthem,
Aiming high above Aonian heights,
Pursuing paths untried in prose or rhyme.|"

Translate & edit this passage repeatedly.
Specifically: loosely translate the following passage for alliterative esthetics, freely rearranging lines to make more sense (do not just copy lines); surround the translation in numbered 'n|' brackets. Then go line by line, and explain the alliteration in each line, and add criticisms and suggestions for improvements. Example editing:

'As when a griffin through the wilderness,'

to:

'1. "As when a griffin through the great wild goes,"
Alliteration: (G, W). Edit: "As when a griffin, through the grim wild,"; The alliteration of "griffin" and "grim" creates a strong opening line.'

Once all the lines are critiqued, then re-translate it for stronger alliteration or assonance, edit it line by line again, and so on until it cannot be improved. Do not copy the previous version exactly! Make improvements each time.

The passage:

"As when a griffin through the wilderness,
With winged course over hill or marshy dale,
Pursues the Arimaspians, who by stealth
Had stolen the guarded gold, so eagerly the fiend
O'er bog or steep, through strait, rough, dense, or rare,
With head, hands, wings, or feet pursues his way,
And swims or sinks, or wades, or creeps, or flies.
At length, a universal uproar wild
Of stunning sounds and voices all confused,
Born through the hollow dark, assaults his ear
With loudest vehemence. Thither he plies,
Undaunted to meet whatever power or spirit
Of the nethermost abyss might dwell in that noise,
Of whom to ask which way the nearest coast of darkness lies,
Bordering on light. When lo, the throne
Of Chaos and his dark pavilion spread
Wide on the wasteful deep; with him enthroned
Sat sable-vested Night, eldest of things,
The consort of his reign, and by them stood
Orcus and Hades, and the dreaded name
Of Demogorgon; Rumor next, and Chance,
And Tumult and Confusion, all embroiled,
And Discord with a thousand various mouths."

2. |Winged wanderer over hills, through hazy mounds,
3. |Chasing crafty Arimaspians, cunning and sly,
4. |Who snatched the gold, so stealthily stowed,

18. |Demogorgon, too, with fears fully fed,
19. |Rumor, Chance, Confusion clustered at the core,
20. |With Tumult, and Discord's thousand throats roar.

**Further Considerations and Final Edits:**

- **Line 1-2:** Excellent use of "G" and "H" sounds. The imagery is vivid and well-connected.
- **Line 3-4:** The "S" sound in "snatched" and "stealthily stowed" adds a sneaky, sibilant quality suitable for the subject.
- **Line 5-8:** Strong "F" and "W" sounds depict the fiend's ferocious pursuit effectively. The verbs in line 8 vividly describe the action.
- **Line 9-10:** The "C"

...
sound in "clamors collide" and "chaotic cries" creates a sense of overwhelming noise effectively portrayed through alliteration. "Chaos calls" aligns well with the thematic elements.

- **Line 11-12:** The "T" and "W" sounds in "tumult," "undaunted," "terror," and "wild whirl" build a robust sonic framework that enhances the menacing atmosphere.

- **Line 13-14:** The "S" and "N" sounds in "secret seat" and "nighest night" alongside "dim divides" and "darkness meets light" provide a mystical and obscure aura, fitting for the setting adjacent to Chaos.

- **Line 15-16:** The repeated "V" sounds in "vast throne, veiled in vast vacancy" give a sense of immense open space, which is visually and phonetically impactful. "Night, the ancient, adorned, his dark consort aloft," maintains this vastness and the ancient, eerie quality with "N" and "A" sounds.

- **Line 17-18:** The "D" sounds in "dreaded names" and "Demogorgon, too, with fears fully fed," are effectively dreadful and dark, enhancing the menacing presence of these mythological figures.

- **Line 19-20:** Finally, "Rumor, Chance, Confusion clustered at the core," and "With Tumult, and Discord's thousand throats roar," use "C" and "T" sounds to culminate in a chaotic, climactic close that resonates with the disorderly essence of the scenario.

**Final Edits and Touch-ups for Enhanced Alliteration and Flow:**

1.  |As griffin glides through grim, gloomy groves,
2.  |Winged wanderer o'er wealds and watery coves,
3.  |Chasing crafty Arimaspians, covert and keen,
4.  |Snatching secretly the shimmering, guarded sheen,
5.  |So fiend forges forth fiercely, o'er fen and field,
6.  |Through tangled trails and shadowed swales, his zeal unsealed,
7.  |By hand, by wing, his willful way he wends,
8.  |Swimming, sinking, striding, stalking, the space he bends.
9.  |At last, loud clashes and clamors converge in cries,
10. |Cavernous chaos calls in the cloaked, clouded skies,
11. |Towards this tumult, the undaunted terror treads,
12. |Facing fearsome phantoms in the frenzied feds,
13. |Seeking the secret stronghold of the nearest night,
14. |Near the dim divide where dark dallies with light.
15. |Lo, Chaos' vast vault, veiled in voluminous void,
16. |Night, the nether's noble, next to naught deployed,
17. |Orcus and Hades, heralds harsh and hushed,
18. |Demogorgon, dire, with dread deeply dushed,
19. |Rumor, Risk, and Racket ring 'round the realm's heart,
20. |With Tumult and Discord's dire din depart.

These final edits focus on enhancing the alliterative impact by selecting words that emphasize the phonetic play while preserving or enhancing the imagery and thematic content of the original passage. Each line is crafted to maintain a rhythmic and phonetic harmony that echoes the tumultuous and chaotic nature of the scene described.

...You're absolutely right to point out the focus should primarily be on alliteration and assonance rather than rhyme, which is a hallmark of Anglo-Saxon verse rather than the rhymed metrics of later English poetry traditions. The goal in alliterative verse is to link half-lines through repeated initial consonant sounds, not end sounds, which is what rhyme typically involves. Let's revise the passage again, focusing strictly on alliteration and maintaining the narrative flow without introducing rhyme unless it occurs incidentally and supports the alliterative structure.

2. |Wings sweep wide over wealds, 'cross watered downs,

    ...Let’s take a step back and focus purely on the alliterative aspect, avoiding rhyme altogether, which is more characteristic of later English poetry rather than Anglo-Saxon verse which relied heavily on alliteration. Here’s a revised attempt that prioritizes alliteration and the rhythm typical of Anglo-Saxon poetry, without introducing rhyme:

**Revised Translation Focusing Strictly on Alliteration:**

1. |As griffins guard the grim and gloomy grounds,
2. |Wings whisking wide, sweeping the marshy mounds,
3. |Chasing clever Arimaspians, hidden in haze,
4. |Thieves thriving in twilight, taking treasures ablaze,
5. |So surges the fiend, swiftly over swamp and slope,
6. |Through brambles and briars, beneath the moon’s pale lope,
7. |With hands and haste, harrowing, hard his quest,
8. |Swimming, sinking, sliding, silent as a shadow's rest.
9. |At once, uproarious echoes invade the eerie quiet,
10. |Voices vast and venomous violate the velvet night,
11. |Towards these tumults, the tireless terror treads,
12. |Amongst phantoms and fogs, where fear freely spreads,
13. |Seeking swiftly the secret, the shrouded shore,
14. |Near the dim divide where dark and daylight war.
15. |Behold, the boundless throne of Chaos, boldly cast,
16. |Where Night, the ancient shadow, sternly stands steadfast,
17. |Orcus and Hades, holding horrors untold,
18. |And Demogorgon, in the deep darkness, dreadfully bold,
19. |With Chance and Confusion, closely they conspire,

19. |With Chance and Confusion, closely they conspire,
20. |Tumult and Discord, in dissonant choir.

16. **Where Night, the ancient shadow, sternly stands steadfast,**
    - **Alliteration:** Prominent "S" sounds in "sternly stands steadfast" emphasize stability and permanence, fitting for the ancient character of Night. The "N" in "Night" and "ancient" subtly reinforces the nocturnal theme.

17. **Orcus and Hades, holding horrors untold,**
    - **Alliteration:** The "H" sounds in "holding horrors" highlight the menacing unknowns guarded by these deities, enhancing the ominous atmosphere.

18. **And Demogorgon, in the deep darkness, dreadfully bold,**
    - **Alliteration:** The "D" sounds in "deep darkness, dreadfully bold" effectively convey the formidable and fearless nature of Demogorgon, adding depth to the darkness motif.

19. **With Chance and Confusion, closely they conspire,**
    - **Alliteration:** "C" sounds in "Chance," "Confusion," "closely," "conspire" create a sense of secret plotting and the chaotic nature of these forces.

20. **Tumult and Discord, in dissonant choir,**
    - **Alliteration:** The "D" sounds in "Discord," "dissonant" along with the "T" in "Tumult" and "choir" round off the passage with a sense of cacophony and upheaval, mirroring the environment of chaos.

**Suggestions for Final Refinement:**

3. **Chasing crafty Arimaspians cloaked in cold mist,**
4. **Twilight's thieves thriving, taking treasures untouched,**
5. **Fiend fast flits, fervent, o'er fen and far hill,**
6. **Through bramble and briar, beneath bleak moon's watch,**
7. **Harrowing hands hasten, heaving through hardship,**

14. **Near dim divides, where dark duels with dawn,**
15. **Chaos' throne, boundless, boldly sprawling,**
16. **Night, old and overshadowed, sternly stationed,**
