Image
And the earth self-balanced on her centre hung.
John Milton
Image
Tis chastity, my brother, chastity She that has that is clad in complete steel, And, like a quiver'd nymph with arrows keen, May trace huge forests, and unharbour'd heaths, Infamous hills, and sandy perilous wilds Where, through the sacred rays of chastity, No savage fierce, bandite, or mountaineer, Will dare to soil her virgin purity.
John Milton
Image
How sweetly did they float upon the wings Of silence through the empty-vaulted night, At every fall smoothing the raven down Of darkness till it smiled!
John Milton
Image
So dear I love him, that with him, all deaths I could endure, without him, live no life.

He that has light within his own clear breast May sit in the centre, and enjoy bright day: But he that hides a dark soul and foul thoughts Benighted walks under the mid-day sun Himself his own dungeon.
John Milton
Image
The nodding horror of whose shady brows Threats the forlorn and wandering passenger.
John Milton
Image
They are the troublers, they are the dividers of unity, who neglect and don't permit others to unite those dissevered pieces which are yet wanting to the body of Truth.
John Milton
Image
Hung over her enamour'd, and beheld Beauty, which, whether waking or asleep, Shot forth peculiar graces.
John Milton
Image
Servant of God, well done! well hast thou fought The better fight, who single hast maintain'd Against revolted multitudes the cause of truth.
John Milton
Image
Let none admire that riches grow in hell that soil may best deserve the precious bane.
John Milton
Image
Our state cannot be severed, we are one, One flesh to lose thee were to lose myself.
John Milton
Image
What is dark within me, illumine.
John Milton
Image
On the tawny sands and shelves trip the pert fairies and the dapper elves.
John Milton
Image
Each tree Laden with fairest fruit, that hung to th' eye Tempting, stirr'd in me sudden appetite To pluck and eat.
John Milton
