dark, wasteful, wild.

Additional quotes by John Milton

The mountain nymph, sweet Liberty.

Yet once more, O ye laurels, and once more
Ye myrtles brown, with ivy never sere,
I come to pluck your berries harsh and crude,
And with forced fingers rude
Shatter your leaves before the mellowing year.

Where the bright seraphim in burning row
Their loud uplifted angel trumpets blow.

First there was Chaos, the vast immeasurable abyss Outrageous as a sea, dark, wasteful, wild. - John Milton
