Image

Thoughts that voluntary move Harmonious numbers.
John Milton
Image
True it is that covetousness is rich, modesty starves.
John Milton
Image
They eat, they drink, and in communion sweet Quaff immortality and joy.
John Milton
Image
If this fail, The pillar'd firmament is rottenness, And earth's base built on stubble.
John Milton
Image
Thy actions to thy words accord thy words To thy large heart give utterance due thy heart Contains of good, wise, just, the perfect shape.

Till old experience do attain To something like prophetic strain.
