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
What is dark within me, illumine.
John Milton
Image
O nightingale, that on yon bloomy spray Warblest at eve, when all the woods are still Thou with fresh hope the lover's heart dost fill While the jolly hours lead on propitious May.
John Milton
Image
And what is faith, love, virtue unassayed Alone, without exterior help sustained?
John Milton
Image
Eye me, blest Providence, and square my trial To my proportion'd strength.
John Milton
Image
Thou canst not touch the freedom of my mind.
John Milton
Image
You can make hell out of heaven and heaven out of hell. It's all in the mind.
John Milton
