Image
The sun to me is dark And silent as the moon, When she deserts the night Hid in her vacant interlunar cave.
John Milton
Image
His rod revers'd, And backward mutters of dissevering power.
John Milton
Image
What reinforcement we may gain from hope If not, what resolution from despair.
John Milton
Image
Truth and understanding are not such wares as to be monopolized and traded in by tickets and statutes and standards. We must not think to make a staple commodity of all the knowledge in the land, to mark and license it like our broadcloth and our woolpacks.
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
Lords are lordliest in their wine.
John Milton

Thou canst not touch the freedom of my mind.
John Milton
Image
Our torments also may in length of time Become our elements, these piercing fires As soft as now severe, our temper changed Into their temper.
John Milton

God sure esteems the growth and completing of one virtuous person, more that the restraint of ten vicious.
John Milton
Image
Her silent course advance With inoffensive pace, that spinning sleeps On her soft axle.
John Milton
Image
Good luck befriend thee, Son for at thy birth The fairy ladies danced upon the hearth.
John Milton
Image
Grace was in all her steps, heaven in her eye, in every gesture dignity and love.
John Milton
Image
From morn To noon he fell, from noon to dewy eve,- A summer's day and with the setting sun Dropp'd from the Zenith like a falling star.
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
No mighty trance, or breathed spell Inspires the pale-eyed priest from the prophetic cell.
John Milton
Image
Spirits when they please Can either sex assume, or both.
John Milton
Image
Where eldest Night And Chaos, ancestors of Nature, hold Eternal anarchy amidst the noise Of endless wars, and by confusion stand For hot, cold, moist, and dry, four champions fierce, Strive here for mast'ry.
John Milton
Image
Ask for this great deliverer now, and find him Eyeless in Gaza at the mill with slaves.
John Milton
Image
Deep vers'd in books, and shallow in himself.
John Milton
