John Milton 1608-1674, British poet
Duns Scotus 1255/66-1308, Scottish Philosopher
Rockwell is best known for his cover paintings for the Saturday Evening Post.
Milton left Cambridge University following a fist-fight with his tutor. His work Areopagitica, published as a pamphlet, is a seminal reference that argues for freedom of speech. View his poems here.
