John Milton
Image
The sun to me is dark And silent as the moon, When she deserts the night Hid in her vacant interlunar cave.
John Milton

Evil into the mind of god or man may come and go, so unapproved, and leave no spot or blame behind.
John Milton

Yet beauty, though injurious, hath strange power, After offence returning, to regain Love once possess'd.

Solitude sometimes is best society.

Our state cannot be severed, we are one, One flesh to lose thee were to lose myself.

His rod revers'd, And backward mutters of dissevering power.
