As in an organ from one blast of wind To many a row of pipes the soundboard breathes.
John Milton

From restless thoughts, that, like a deadly swarm Of hornets arm'd, no sooner found alone, But rush upon me thronging.
John Milton

Look homeward, Angel, now, and melt with ruth.
John Milton
Image
And, when night Darkens the streets, then wander forth the sons Of Belial, flown with insolence and wine.
John Milton

And so sepúlchred in such pomp dost lie, That kings for such a tomb would wish to die.
John Milton
