Paradise Regained
ENGLISH PROFESSOR F. Cudworth Flint grew up in Lebanon, New Hampshire; Dartmouth didn't go far for professors in those days. Toward the end his eyesight was terrible. But his retention of literature was amazing. He once gave a lecture in which he held Paradise Lost up to his face and intoned stanza after stanza. He went on for some time before I realized that he must have been reciting from memory. The book was upside down.
