Image
The conquer'd, also, and enslaved by war, Shall, with their freedom lost, all virtue lose.
John Milton
Image
Back to thy punishment, False fugitive, and to thy speed add wings.
John Milton
Image
Knowledge forbidden? Suspicious, reasonless. Why should their Lord Envy them that? Can it be sin to know, Can it be death? And do they only stand By ignorance? Is that their happy state, The proof of their obedience and their faith? O fair foundation laid whereon to build Their ruin!
John Milton
Image
And grace that won who saw to wish her stay.
John Milton
Image
Here we may reign secure and in my choice To reign is worth ambition, though in hell: Better to reign in hell than serve in heaven.
John Milton
Image
Or sweetest Shakespeare, Fancy's child!
John Milton
Image
Haste thee, Nymph, and bring with thee Jest, and youthful Jollity, Quips, and Cranks, and wanton Wiles, Nods, and Becks, and wreathed Smiles, Such as hang on Hebe's cheek, And love to live in dimple sleek Sport that wrinkled Care derides, And Laughter holding both his sides.
John Milton
Image
Where no hope is left, is left no fear.
John Milton
Image
Sweet bird that shunn'st the nose of folly, Most musical, most melancholy! Thee, chauntress, oft, the woods among, I woo, to hear thy even-song.
John Milton
Image
These eyes, tho' clear To outward view of blemish or of spot, Bereft of light, their seeing have forgot, Nor to their idle orbs doth sight appear Of sun, or moon, or star, throughout the year, Or man, or woman. Yet I argue not Against Heaven's hand or will, not bate a jot Of heart or hope but still bear up and steer Right onward.
John Milton
Image
Such sights as youthful poets dream On summer eves by haunted stream. Then to the well-trod stage anon, If Jonson's learned sock be on, Or sweetest Shakespeare, Fancy's child, Warble his native wood-notes wild.
John Milton
Image
With eyes Of conjugal attraction unreprov'd. Imparadised in one another's arms. With thee conversing I forget all time. And feel that I am happier than I know.
John Milton
Image
Beyond is all abyss, eternity, whose end no eye can reach.
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
Yet I argue not Against Heav'n's hand or will, nor bate a jot Of heart or hope but still bear up and steer Right onward.
John Milton
Image
The superior man acquaints himself with many sayings of antiquity and many deeds of the past, in order to strengthen his character thereby.
John Milton
Image
It is Chastity, my brother. She that has that is clad in complete steel.
John Milton
Image
Time is the subtle thief of youth.
John Milton
Image
Yet beauty, though injurious, hath strange power, After offence returning, to regain Love once possess'd.
John Milton
Image
What boots it at one gate to make defence, And at another to let in the foe?
