Image
Thou canst not touch the freedom of my mind.
John Milton
Image
The starry cope Of heaven.
John Milton
Image
The oracles are dumb, No voice or hideous hum Runs through the arched roof in words deceiving. Apollo from his shrine Can no more divine, With hollow shriek the steep of Delphos leaving. No nightly trance or breathed spell Inspires the pale-eyed priest from the prophetic cell.
John Milton
Image
Nor love thy life, nor hate but what thou livest, Live well how long, or short, permit to Heaven.
John Milton
Image
Boast not of what thou would'st have done, but do.
John Milton
Image
Let us go forth and resolutely dare with sweat of brow to toil our little day.
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
And join with thee calm Peace and Quiet, Spare Fast, that oft with gods doth diet.
John Milton
Image
How often from the steep Of echoing hill or thicket have we heard Celestial voices to the midnight air, Sole, or responsive each to other's note, Singing their great Creator?
John Milton
Image
And some are fall'n, to disobedience fall'n, And so from Heav'n to deepest Hell O fall From what high state of bliss into what woe!
John Milton
Image
Thrones, dominions, princedoms, virtues, powers-- If these magnific titles yet remain Not merely titular.
John Milton
Image
The redundant locks, robustious to no purpose, clustering down--vast monument of strength.
John Milton
Image
Look homeward, Angel, now, and melt with ruth.
John Milton
Image
And fast by, hanging in a golden chain, This pendent world, in bigness as a star Of smallest magnitude, close by the moon.
John Milton
Image
To know that which lies before us in daily life is the prime wisdom.
John Milton
Image
O madness to think use of strongest wines And strongest drinks our chief support of health, When God with these forbidden made choice to rear His mighty champion, strong above compare, Whose drink was only from the liquid brook.
John Milton
Image
Virtue may be assailed, but never hurt, Surprised by unjust force, but not enthralled.
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
Here the great art lies, to discern in what the law is to be to restraint and punishment, and in what things persuasion only is to work.
John Milton
Image
Those whom reason hath equalled, force hath made supreme
John Milton
