Imparadis'd in one another's arms.
John Milton

Anarchy is the sure consequence of tyranny for no power that is not limited by laws can ever be protected by them.

Solitude sometimes is best society.
John Milton
Image
Me miserable! Which way shall I fly Infinite wrath and infinite despair? Which way I fly is hell myself am hell And in the lowest deep a lower deep, Still threat'ning to devour me, opens wide, To which the hell I suffer seems a heaven.
John Milton
Image
The hungry sheep look up, and are not fed, But, swoln with wind, and the rank mist they draw, Rot inwardly, and foul contagion spread: Besides what the grim wolf with privy paw Daily devours apace, and nothing said But that two-handed engine at the door Stands ready to smite once, and smite no more.
John Milton

John Milton
Image
How often from the steep Of echoing hill or thicket have we heard Celestial voices to the midnight air, Sole, or responsive each to other's note, Singing their great Creator?
John Milton
Image
I on the other side Us'd no ambition to commend my deeds The deeds themselves, though mute, spoke loud the doer.
John Milton
Image
Deep vers'd in books, and shallow in himself.
John Milton
Image
Gratitude bestows reverence, allowing us to encounter everyday epiphanies.
John Milton
Image
When language in common use in any country becomes irregular and depraved, it is followed by their ruin and degradation. For what do terms used without skill or meaning, which are at once corrupt and misapplied, denote but a people listless, supine, and ripe for servitude?
John Milton
Image
Boast not of what thou would'st have done, but do.
John Milton
Image
Truth is as impossible to be soiled by any outward touch as the sunbeam.
John Milton
Image
I did but prompt the age to quit their clogs By the known rules of ancient liberty, When straight a barbarous noise environs me Of owls and cuckoos, asses, apes and dogs.
