How does Milton describe Shakespeare as the source of inspiration for all succeeding generations of poets?
Solution and Explanation
Milton describes Shakespeare as the source of inspiration for all succeeding generations of poets by saying that his statements leave an enduring impression in his readers' minds. Meanwhile, one reads or listens to his sonnet or play, and they are left astonished and become fascinated and paralyzed with wonder. So, they are stunned to become marble statues in the tomb of Shakespeare over succeeding time. These works even astonish future generations, passed on from the previous one.
