It’s the epic poem by poet John Milton published in 1667 depicting the temptation of Adam and Eve by the angel.  To further go into detail, Jame Kelly published an article in Time Magazine in 1961 by that same name examining Miami as a cross between a tourist city and a crime capital, ie. loss due to temptation.
