Image
. . . for beauty stands In the admiration only of weak minds Led captive. Cease to admire, and all her plumes Fall flat and shrink into a trivial toy, At every sudden slighting quite abash'd.
John Milton
Image
And to the faithful: death, the gate of life.
John Milton
Image
Beauty is God's handwriting-a wayside sacrament.
John Milton
Image
Tis chastity, my brother, chastity She that has that is clad in complete steel, And, like a quiver'd nymph with arrows keen, May trace huge forests, and unharbour'd heaths, Infamous hills, and sandy perilous wilds Where, through the sacred rays of chastity, No savage fierce, bandite, or mountaineer, Will dare to soil her virgin purity.
John Milton
Image
Fame is the last infirmity of the human mind.
John Milton
Image
Angels contented with their face in heaven, Seek not the praise of men.
John Milton
Image
Where eldest Night And Chaos, ancestors of Nature, hold Eternal anarchy amidst the noise Of endless wars, and by confusion stand For hot, cold, moist, and dry, four champions fierce, Strive here for mast'ry.
John Milton
Image
The spirits perverse with easy intercourse pass to and fro, to tempt or punish mortals.
John Milton
Image
First Moloch, horrid king, besmirched in blood, Of Human sacrifice, and parent's tears, Though, for the noise of drums and timbrels loud, Their childrens' cries unheard, that passed through fire, To his grim idol.
John Milton
Image
Ask for this great deliverer now, and find him Eyeless in Gaza at the mill with slaves.
John Milton
Image
Hell has no benefits, only torture.
John Milton
Image
Truth is compared in Scripture to a streaming fountain if her waters flow not in perpetual progression, they sicken into a muddy pool of conformity and tradition.
John Milton
Image
Beyond is all abyss, eternity, whose end no eye can reach.
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
Let us go forth and resolutely dare with sweat of brow to toil our little day.
John Milton
Image
What reinforcement we may gain from hope If not, what resolution from despair.
John Milton
Image
Or sweetest Shakespeare, Fancy's child!
John Milton
Image
Where all life dies death lives.
John Milton
Image
Nothing lovelier can be found In woman, than to study household good, And good works in her husband to promote.
John Milton
Image
Fairy damsels met in forest wide / By knights of Logres, or of Lyones, / Lancelot or Pelleas, or Pellenore.
John Milton
