Image
Part of my soul I seek thee, and claim thee my other half
John Milton
Image
O nightingale, that on yon bloomy spray Warblest at eve, when all the woods are still Thou with fresh hope the lover's heart dost fill While the jolly hours lead on propitious May.
John Milton
Image
Midnight brought on the dusky hour Friendliest to sleep and silence.
John Milton
Image
True it is that covetousness is rich, modesty starves.
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
Image
But now my task is smoothly done, I can fly, or I can run Quickly to the green earth's end, Where the bow'd welkin slow doth bend, And from thence can soar as soon To the corners of the Moon.
John Milton
Image
All is not lost, the unconquerable will, and study of revenge, immortal hate, and the courage never to submit or yield.
John Milton
Image
As in an organ from one blast of wind To many a row of pipes the soundboard breathes.
John Milton

As therefore the state of man now is, what wisdom can there be to choose, what continence to forbear, without the knowledge of good and evil?
John Milton
Image
Our reason is our law.
John Milton
Image
To live a life half dead, a living death.
John Milton
Image
Leaves have their time to fall, And flowers to wither at the north - wind's breath, And stars to set but all, Thou hast all seasons for thine own, O Death!
John Milton
Image
A limbo large and broad, since call'd The Paradise of Fools to few unknown.
John Milton
Image
So on this windy sea of land, the Fiend Walked up and down alone bent on his prey.
John Milton
Image
It were a journey like the path to heaven, To help you find them.
John Milton
Image
Sport, that wrinkled Care derides, And Laughter holding both his sides. Come and trip it as ye go, On the light fantastic toe.
John Milton
Image
He that has light within his own clear breast May sit in the centre, and enjoy bright day: But he that hides a dark soul and foul thoughts Benighted walks under the mid-day sun Himself his own dungeon.
John Milton
Image
Thoughts that voluntary move Harmonious numbers.
John Milton
Image
And grace that won who saw to wish her stay.
John Milton
Image
Fairy elves, Whose midnight revels by a forest side Or fountain some belated peasant sees, Or dreams he sees, while overhead the moon Sits arbitress.
