And as an ev'ning dragon came, Assailant on the perched roosts And nests in order rang'd Of tame villatic fowl.
John Milton
Image
Nor jealousy Was understood, the injur'd lover's hell.
John Milton
Image
All seemed well pleased, all seemed, but were not all.
John Milton
Image
Evil into the mind of god or man may come and go, so unapproved, and leave no spot or blame behind.

And that must end us, that must be our cure: To be no more. Sad cure! For who would lose, Though full of pain, this intellectual being, Those thoughts that wander through eternity, To perish, rather, swallowed up and lost In the wide womb of uncreated night Devoid of sense and motion?

None But such as are good men can give good things, And that which is not good, is not delicious To a well-govern'd and wise appetite.
John Milton
Image
It is for homely features to keep home,- They had their name thence coarse complexions And cheeks of sorry grain will serve to ply The sampler and to tease the huswife's wool. What need a vermeil-tinctur'd lip for that, Love-darting eyes, or tresses like the morn?
John Milton
Image
Assuredly we bring not innocence not the world, we bring impurity much rather: that which purifies us is trial, and trial is by what is contrary.
John Milton
Image
Ah gentle pair, ye little think how nigh Your change approaches, when all these delights Will vanish and deliver ye to woe, More woe, the more your taste is now of joy.
John Milton
Image
Which way I fly is Hell myself am Hell.
John Milton
Image
Our cure, to be no more sad cure!
John Milton
Image
All is not lost, the unconquerable will, and study of revenge, immortal hate, and the courage never to submit or yield.
John Milton
Image
A short retirement urges a sweet return.
John Milton
Image
The Tree of Knowledge grew fast by, Knowledge of Good bought dear by knowing ill.
