More quotes by John Milton
Death ready stands to interpose his dart.
John Milton
Therefore God's universal law Gave to the man despotic power Over his female in due awe, Not from that right to part an hour, Smile she or lour.
John Milton
Joking decides great things, Stronger and better oft than earnest can.
John Milton
Dim eclipse, disastrous twilight.
John Milton
All is not lost, the unconquerable will, and study of revenge, immortal hate, and the courage never to submit or yield.
John Milton
... then there was war in heaven. But it was not angels. It was that small golden zeppelin, like a long oval world, high up. It seemed as if the cosmic order were gone, as if there had come a new order, a new heavens above us: and as if the world in anger were trying to revoke it.
John Milton
So hand in hand they passed, the loveliest pair that ever since in love's embraces met -- Adam, the goodliest man of men since born his sons the fairest of her daughters Eve.
John Milton
Some say no evil thing that walks by night, In fog or fire, by lake or moorish fen, Blue meagre hag, or stubborn unlaid ghost That breaks his magic chains at curfew time, No goblin, or swart fairy of the mine, Hath hurtful power o'er true virginity.
John Milton
Rhime being no necessary Adjunct or true Ornament of Poem or good Verse, in longer Works especially, but the Invention of a barbarous Age, to set off wretched matter and lame Meeter...the troublesom and modern bondage of Rimeing.
John Milton
The starry cope Of heaven.
John Milton
Back to thy punishment, False fugitive, and to thy speed add wings.
John Milton
I sung of Chaos and Eternal Night, Taught by the heav'nly Muse to venture down The dark descent, and up to reascend.
John Milton
Sport, that wrinkled Care derides, And Laughter holding both his sides. Come and trip it as ye go, On the light fantastic toe.
John Milton
And to the faithful: death, the gate of life.
John Milton
Nothing lovelier can be found In woman, than to study household good, And good works in her husband to promote.
John Milton
Which way I fly is Hell myself am Hell.
John Milton
Love-quarrels oft in pleasing concord end.
John Milton
Better to reign in hell than serve in heav'n.
John Milton
Grace was in all her steps, heaven in her eye, in every gesture dignity and love.
John Milton
Truth is compared in Scripture to a streaming fountain if her waters flow not in perpetual progression, they sicken into a muddy pool of conformity and tradition.
John Milton
