In discourse more sweet For eloquence the soul, song charms the sense. Others apart sat on a hill retir'd, In thoughts more elevate, and reason'd high Of providence, foreknowledge, will, and fate, Fix'd fate, free-will, foreknowledge absolute And found no end, in wand'ring mazes lost.
John Milton
Image
They who have put out the people's eyes reproach them of their blindness.
John Milton

Sometime let gorgeous Tragedy In sceptred pall come sweeping by, Presenting Thebes, or Pelops' line, Or the tale of Troy divine.
John Milton
Image
Did I request thee, Maker, from my clay To mould me man? Did I solicit thee From darkness to promote me?
John Milton
Image
Assuredly we bring not innocence not the world, we bring impurity much rather: that which purifies us is trial, and trial is by what is contrary.
John Milton
Image
United thoughts and counsels, equal hope And hazard in the glorious enterprise.
John Milton
Image
Mutual love, the crown of all our bliss.
John Milton
Image
Our torments also may in length of time Become our Elements.
