Image
It was the winter wild, While the Heaven-born child, All meanly wrapt in the rude manger lies.
John Milton
Image
Haste thee, Nymph, and bring with thee Jest, and youthful Jollity, Quips, and Cranks, and wanton Wiles, Nods, and Becks, and wreathed Smiles, Such as hang on Hebe's cheek, And love to live in dimple sleek Sport that wrinkled Care derides, And Laughter holding both his sides.
John Milton
Image
So dear to heav'n is saintly chastity, That when a soul is found sincerely so, A thousand liveried angels lackey her, Driving far off each thing of sin and guilt, And in clear dream and solemn vision Tell her of things that no gross ear can hear, Till oft converse with heav'nly habitants Begin to cast a beam on th' outward shape.
John Milton
Image
Infinity is a dark illimitable ocean, without bound.
John Milton
Image
Revenge, at first though sweet, Bitter ere long back on itself recoils.
John Milton
Image
Arm the obdured breast with stubborn patience as with triple steel.
John Milton
Image
Anon out of the earth a fabric huge Rose, like an exhalation.
John Milton
Image
Not to know me argues yourselves unknown.
John Milton
Image
To many a youth and many a maid, dancing in the chequer'd shade.
John Milton
Image
But infinite in pardon is my Judge.
John Milton
Image
Eye me, blest Providence, and square my trial To my proportion'd strength.
John Milton
Image
Beauty is Nature's coin, must not be hoarded, But must be current, and the good thereof Consists in mutual and partaken bliss.
John Milton
Image
His rod revers'd, And backward mutters of dissevering power.
John Milton
Image
Beauty is nature's brag, and must be shown in courts, at feasts, and high solemnities, where most may wonder at the workmanship.
John Milton
Image
It is not good that man should be alone. ... Hitherto all things that have been named, were approved of God to be very good: loneliness is the first thing which God's eye named not good: whether it be a thing, or the want of something, I labour not.
John Milton
Image
And some are fall'n, to disobedience fall'n, And so from Heav'n to deepest Hell O fall From what high state of bliss into what woe!
John Milton
Image
Some say no evil thing that walks by night, In fog or fire, by lake or moorish fen, Blue meagre hag, or stubborn unlaid ghost That breaks his magic chains at curfew time, No goblin, or swart fairy of the mine, Hath hurtful power o'er true virginity.
John Milton
Image
Most men admire Virtue who follow not her lore.
John Milton
Image
Truth and understanding are not such wares as to be monopolized and traded in by tickets and statutes and standards. We must not think to make a staple commodity of all the knowledge in the land, to mark and license it like our broadcloth and our woolpacks.
John Milton
Image
The nodding horror of whose shady brows Threats the forlorn and wandering passenger.
