Heav'nly love shall outdoo Hellish hate
John Milton

John Milton

They eat, they drink, and in communion sweet Quaff immortality and joy.
John Milton
Image
What if Earth be but the shadow of Heaven and things therein - each other like, more than on Earth is thought?
John Milton
Image
Come to the sunset tree! The day is past and gone The woodman's axe lies free, And the reaper's work is done.
John Milton

We read not that Christ ever exercised force but once and that was to drive profane ones out of his Temple, not to force them in.
John Milton

So on this windy sea of land, the Fiend Walked up and down alone bent on his prey.

And storied windows richly dight, Casting a dim religious light.
John Milton
