Our two first parents, yet the only two Of mankind, in the happy garden placed, Reaping immortal fruits of joy and love, Uninterrupted joy, unrivalled love In blissful solitude.

Image
We read not that Christ ever exercised force but once and that was to drive profane ones out of his Temple, not to force them in.
John Milton
Image
For the air of youth, Hopeful and cheerful, in thy blood will reign A melancholy damp of cold and dry To weigh thy spirits down, and last consume The balm of life.
John Milton
Image
Heav'nly love shall outdoo Hellish hate
John Milton
Image
Indu'd With sanctity of reason.
John Milton
Image
True it is that covetousness is rich, modesty starves.
John Milton
Image
Mutual love, the crown of all our bliss.
John Milton
Image
... then there was war in heaven. But it was not angels. It was that small golden zeppelin, like a long oval world, high up. It seemed as if the cosmic order were gone, as if there had come a new order, a new heavens above us: and as if the world in anger were trying to revoke it.
John Milton
Image
What boots it at one gate to make defence, And at another to let in the foe?
John Milton
Image
When we speak of knowing God, it must be understood with reference to man's limited powers of comprehension. God, as He really is, is far beyond man's imagination, let alone understanding. God has revealed only so much of Himself as our minds can conceive and the weakness of our nature can bear.
John Milton
Image
O Conscience, into what abyss of fears And horrors hast thou driven me, out of which I find no way, from deep to deeper plunged.
John Milton
Image
Unless an age too late, or cold Climate, or years, damp my intended wing.
John Milton
Image
Oh, shame to men! devil with devil damn'd Firm concord holds, men only disagree Of creatures rational.
John Milton
Image
Where all life dies death lives.
John Milton
Image
Now came still evening on and twilight gray Had in her sober livery all things clad: Silence accompanied for beast and bird, They to they grassy couch, these to their nests, Were slunk, all but the wakeful nightingale.
John Milton
Image
Just are the ways of God, And justifiable to men Unless there be who think not God at all.
John Milton
Image
Good luck befriend thee, Son for at thy birth The fairy ladies danced upon the hearth.
John Milton
Image
Part of my soul I seek thee, and claim thee my other half
John Milton
Image
His rod revers'd, And backward mutters of dissevering power.
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
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?
