Such joy ambition finds.
John Milton
Image
But hail thou Goddess sage and holy, Hail, divinest Melancholy, Whose saintly visage is too bright To hit the sense of human sight, And therefore to our weaker view O'erlaid with black, staid Wisdom's hue.
John Milton
Image
The conquer'd, also, and enslaved by war, Shall, with their freedom lost, all virtue lose.
John Milton
Image
Implied Subjection, but requir'd with gentle sway, And by her yielded, by him best receiv'd,- Yielded with coy submission, modest pride, And sweet, reluctant, amorous delay.
John Milton
Image
His words, like so many nimble and airy servitors, trip about him at command. Ibid.
John Milton

How often from the steep Of echoing hill or thicket have we heard Celestial voices to the midnight air, Sole, or responsive each to other's note, Singing their great Creator?

All is not lost, the unconquerable will, and study of revenge, immortal hate, and the courage never to submit or yield.
