Detailed explanation-1: -His blindness forced him to dictate his verse and prose to amanuenses who copied them out for him; one of these was Andrew Marvell.
Detailed explanation-2: -"When I Consider How My Light is Spent” (Also known as “On His Blindness") is one of the best known of the sonnets of John Milton (1608–1674).
Detailed explanation-3: -John Milton wrote “On His Blindness” to express his frustration and wavering faith that his blindness brought on. At first, he doesn’t understand why God would make him blind if writing, his great talent, requires sight or what he is expected to do about it.
Detailed explanation-4: -His personal life added to these problems. One of the issues was his eyesight, which he lost completely by 1652. Consequently, a lot of his official work and the actual writing were done by helpers. Therefore, he wrote Paradise Lost and Paradise Regained with the help of his daughters and friends.
Detailed explanation-5: -He feels that God will rebuke him for not using his gift of writing poetry. He grumbles against God for making him blind. But then Milton gets a feeling of resignation and complete faith in God’s justice. He accepts total submission to the will of God.
