Additional quotes by John Milton

To mee, who with eternal Famine pine,
Alike is Hell, or Paradise, or Heaven,
There best, where most with ravin I might meet;
Which here, though plenteous, all too little seems
To stuff this Maw, this vast unhide-bound Corpse.

Then wilt thou not be loath
To leave this Paradise, but shalt possess
A Paradise within thee, happier far.

For Man to tell how human life began is hard; for who himself beginning knew?

O nightingale, that on yon bloomy spray Warbl'st at eve, when all the woods are still. - John Milton
