John Milton
Image
What reinforcement we may gain from hope If not, what resolution from despair.

Image
Aristotle ... imputed this symphony of the heavens ... this music of the spheres to Pythagorus. ... But Pythagoras alone of mortals is said to have heard this harmony ... If our hearts were as pure, as chaste, as snowy as Pythagoras' was, our ears would resound and be filled with that supremely lovely music of the wheeling stars.

In discourse more sweet For eloquence the soul, song charms the sense. Others apart sat on a hill retir'd, In thoughts more elevate, and reason'd high Of providence, foreknowledge, will, and fate, Fix'd fate, free-will, foreknowledge absolute And found no end, in wand'ring mazes lost.

Then might ye see Cowls, hoods, and habits with their wearers tost And flutter'd into rags then reliques, beads, Indulgences, dispenses, pardons, bulls, The sport of winds all these upwhirl'd aloft Fly to the rearward of the world far off Into a limbo large and broad, since called The paradise of fools.
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
For truth is strong next to the Almighty. She needs no policies or stratagems or licensings to make her victorious. These are the shifts and the defences that error uses against her power.
John Milton
Image
The conquer'd, also, and enslaved by war, Shall, with their freedom lost, all virtue lose.
John Milton
Image
It was that fatal and perfidious bark, Built in th' eclipse, and rigg'd with curses dark.
John Milton
Image
Where peace And rest can never dwell, hope never comes, That comes to all.
John Milton
Image
From haunted spring and dale Edg'd with poplar pale The parting genius is with sighing sent.
John Milton
Image
That space the Evil One abstracted stood From his own evil, and for the time remained Stupidly good, of enmity disarmed, Of guile, of hate, of envy, of revenge .
John Milton

The end of all learning is to know God, and out of that knowledge to love and imitate Him.

Virtue hath no tongue to check vice's pride.
