Image
There are no songs comparable to the songs of Zion, no orations equal to those of the prophets, and no politics like those which the Scriptures teach.
John Milton
Image
Such sights as youthful poets dream On summer eves by haunted stream. Then to the well-trod stage anon, If Jonson's learned sock be on, Or sweetest Shakespeare, Fancy's child, Warble his native wood-notes wild.
John Milton
Image
Yet once more, O ye laurels, and once more Ye myrtles brown, with ivy never sere, I come to pluck your berries harsh and crude, And with forced fingers rude Shatter your leaves before the mellowing year.
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
Which way I fly is Hell myself am Hell.
John Milton
Image
Nor think thou with wind Of æry threats to awe whom yet with deeds Thou canst not.
John Milton
Image
But let my due feet never fail To walk the studious cloisters pale, And love the high embowed roof, With antique pillars massy proof, And storied windows richly dight Casting a dim religious light.
John Milton
Image
There swift return Diurnal, merely to officiate light Round this opacous earth, this punctual spot.
John Milton
Image
From restless thoughts, that, like a deadly swarm Of hornets arm'd, no sooner found alone, But rush upon me thronging.
John Milton
Image
Here the great art lies, to discern in what the law is to be to restraint and punishment, and in what things persuasion only is to work.
John Milton
Image
Our torments also may in length of time Become our elements, these piercing fires As soft as now severe, our temper changed Into their temper.
John Milton
Image
God, who oft descends to visit men Unseen, and through their habitations walks To mark their doings.
John Milton
Image
Give me the liberty to know, to utter, and to argue freely according to conscience, above all liberties.
John Milton
Image
Thou canst not touch the freedom of my mind.
John Milton
Image
Her silent course advance With inoffensive pace, that spinning sleeps On her soft axle.
John Milton
Image
Part of my soul I seek thee, and claim thee my other half
John Milton
Image
Th' ethereal mould Incapable of stain would soon expel Her mischief, and purge off the baser fire, Victorious. Thus repuls'd, our final hope Is flat despair.
John Milton
Image
With thee conversing I forget all time.
John Milton
Image
The childhood shows the man As morning shows the day. Be famous then By wisdom as thy empire must extend, So let extend thy mind o'er all the world.
John Milton
Image
Hate is of all things the mightiest divider, nay, is division itself. To couple hatred, therefore, though wedlock try all her golden links, and borrow to tier aid all the iron manacles and fetters of law, it does but seek to twist a rope of sand.
