…light generated by one ten centimetre (four inch) watercress seedling is currently about one-thousandth of the amount needed to properly read by, but it was enough to illuminate the words on a page of John Milton's Paradise Lost. this generates a tiny amount of light, don't expect to use it to illuminate the streets like they hope in the article.
…highest forms of art require divine inspiration that isn't accessible to everyone. It's common for epic poetry to invoke muses as a callback to this assumption, nominally to show the author's humility. John Milton's Paradise Lost does this (and reframes the muse within a Christian hierarchy at the same time), although it doesn't come off as remotely humble.
……一株十厘米(四英寸)长的豆瓣菜幼苗发出的光,目前大概只有正常阅读所需光照强度的千分之一左右,但用来照亮约翰·弥尔顿《失乐园》某一页上的文字已经足够了。这玩意儿发出的光极其微弱,可别指望能像文章里期望的那样拿去给街道照明。

……最高等级的艺术需要非凡的灵感,而这种神授灵感并不是人人都能够得到的。史诗通常都会呼唤缪斯女神,以此作为对这种观念的回溯,名义上是为了表达作者的谦逊。约翰·弥尔顿的《失乐园》就这么干了(同时还把缪斯重新解构到了基督教的层级体系中),不过通篇看下来可一点都没觉得他哪里谦虚了。
