    		Must be "The Fallen Angel" in the Parque del Buen Retiro in Madrid.

    The poem, of course, is Milton's "Paradise Lost."

    I don't know if it's my computer or that Wiki page, but it's acting weird. Here's another link:

    My brother, marking out stops on a tour for literature and history-minded cyclists, recently sent me an inquiry about a "heavenly" sculpture said to have inspired an important American novel. A little research indicated that he had the wrong sculpture in mind and also that the title of the novel had actually been inspired by a line in a 17th-century poem by someone who was definitely interested in the before-and-afterlife. What novel am I talking about, and what poem might this be?
