Part of my soul I seek thee, and claim thee my other half

Unless an age too late, or cold Climate, or years, damp my intended wing.
John Milton

Perplexed and troubled at his bad success The Tempter stood, nor had what to reply, Discovered in his fraud, thrown from his hope.
John Milton
Image
From haunted spring and dale Edg'd with poplar pale The parting genius is with sighing sent.
John Milton
Image
And if by prayer Incessant I could hope to change the will Of Him who all things can, I would not cease To weary Him with my assiduous cries.

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
Hail, holy light! offspring of heaven firstborn! Or of th' eternal co-eternal beam, May I express thee unblam'd? since God is light And never but in unapproached light Dwelt from eternity, dwelt then in thee, Bright effluence of bright essence increate!
John Milton
Image
So dear I love him, that with him, all deaths I could endure, without him, live no life.
John Milton
Image
Fame is the spur that the clear spirit doth raise. That last infirmity of noble mind. To scorn delights, and live laborious days.
John Milton
Image
Seas wept from our deep sorrows.
John Milton
