When language in common use in any country becomes irregular and depraved, it is followed by their ruin and degradation. For what do terms used without skill or meaning, which are at once corrupt and misapplied, denote but a people listless, supine, and ripe for servitude?
John Milton
Image
What if Earth be but the shadow of Heaven and things therein - each other like, more than on Earth is thought?
