Hipnosis (spelt "Hypnosis" for releases outside of Italy), were an Italian synthpop group, best remembered for their cover of Vangelis' track "Pulstar", which went Top 10 in Germany and Top 20 in Switzerland in 1983. They are also remembered for their hits, "Oxygene" (1983), a cover of Jean-Michel Jarre's 1976 superhit and "Droid" (1987).
John Milton (9 December 1608 – 8 November 1674) was an English poet, polemicist, a scholarly man of letters, and a civil servant for the Commonwealth (republic) of England under Oliver Cromwell. He wrote at a time of religious flux and political upheaval, and is best known for his epic poem Paradise Lost.
Milton's poetry and prose reflect deep personal convictions, a passion for freedom and self determination, and the urgent issues and political turbulence of his day. Writing in English, Latin, and Italian, he achieved international renown within his lifetime, and his celebrated Areopagitica, (written in condemnation of pre-publication censorship) is among history's most influential and impassioned defenses of free speech and freedom of the press.
William Hayley's 1796 biography called him the "greatest English author", and he remains generally regarded "as one of the preeminent writers in the English language"; though critical reception has oscillated in the centuries since his death (often on account of his republicanism). Samuel Johnson praised Paradise Lost as "a poem which...with respect to design may claim the first place, and with respect to performance, the second, among the productions of the human mind". Though Johnson (a Tory and recipient of royal patronage) described his politics as those of an "acrimonious and surly republican".
Walking down the street
Alone among the mass
I thought that was a dream
When she appeared to my sight
In front of me she was
Wrapped in a veil of light
I knew I had to tell her
But no sound came from my mouth
Her eyes in mine were drowned
No need to touch or speak
I knew she was the one
But she didn't know who I was
She's my first emotion
She's the love in motion
She's the beauty
