Image
I will not deny but that the best apology against false accusers is silence and sufferance, and honest deeds set against dishonest words.
John Milton
Image
Seasoned life of man preserved and stored up in books.
John Milton
Image
O fairest of creation, last and best Of all God's works, creature in whom excelled Whatever can to sight or thought be formed, Holy, divine, good, amiable, or sweet! How art thou lost, how on a sudden lost, Defaced, deflow'red, and now to death devote? Paradise Lost
John Milton
Image
So dear to heav'n is saintly chastity, That when a soul is found sincerely so, A thousand liveried angels lackey her, Driving far off each thing of sin and guilt, And in clear dream and solemn vision Tell her of things that no gross ear can hear, Till oft converse with heav'nly habitants Begin to cast a beam on th' outward shape.
John Milton
Image
Spirits that live throughout, Vital in every part, not as frail man, In entrails, heart or head, liver or reins, Cannot but by annihilating die.
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
Beyond is all abyss, eternity, whose end no eye can reach.
John Milton
Image
They are the troublers, they are the dividers of unity, who neglect and don't permit others to unite those dissevered pieces which are yet wanting to the body of Truth.
John Milton
Image
Hate is of all things the mightiest divider, nay, is division itself. To couple hatred, therefore, though wedlock try all her golden links, and borrow to tier aid all the iron manacles and fetters of law, it does but seek to twist a rope of sand.
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
Image
Of man's first disobedience, and the fruit/Of that forbidden tree, whose mortal taste/Brought death into the world, and all our woe,/With loss of Eden, till one greater Man/Restore us, and regain the blissful seat,/Sing heavenly muse
John Milton
Image
And the earth self-balanced on her centre hung.
John Milton
Image
There are no songs comparable to the songs of Zion, no orations equal to those of the prophets, and no politics like those which the Scriptures teach.
John Milton
Image
The Angel ended, and in Adam's ear So charming left his voice, that he awhile Thought him still speaking, still stood fix'd to hear.
John Milton
Image
Midnight shout and revelry, Tipsy dance and jollity.
John Milton
Image
Behold now this vast city [London] a city of refuge, the mansion-house of liberty, encompassed and surrounded with His protection.
John Milton
Image
Death to life is crown or shame.
John Milton
Image
Just are the ways of God, And justifiable to men Unless there be who think not God at all.
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
Gratitude bestows reverence, allowing us to encounter everyday epiphanies.
