John Milton
Image
These evils I deserve, and more . . . . Justly, yet despair not of his final pardon, Whose ear is ever open, and his eye Gracious to re-admit the suppliant.
John Milton
Image
All seemed well pleased, all seemed, but were not all.
John Milton
Image
Methinks I see in my mind a noble and puissant nation rousing herself like a strong man after sleep, and shaking her invincible locks methinks I see her as an eagle mewing her mighty youth, and kindling her undazzled eyes at the full midday beam.
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
Heaven Is as the Book of God before thee set, Wherein to read His wondrous works.
John Milton
Image
And now without redemption all mankind Must have been lost, adjudged to death and hell By doom severe.
John Milton
