More quotes by John Milton

Image
Hail, holy light! offspring of heaven firstborn! Or of th' eternal co-eternal beam, May I express thee unblam'd? since God is light And never but in unapproached light Dwelt from eternity, dwelt then in thee, Bright effluence of bright essence increate!
John Milton
Image

John Milton

The spirits perverse with easy intercourse pass to and fro, to tempt or punish mortals.

How soon hath Time, the subtle thief of youth, stolen on his wing my three-and-twentieth year!
