Additional quotes by John Milton

Listen where thou art sitting
Under the glassie, cool, translucent wave,
In twisted braids of Lillies knitting
The loose train of thy amber-dropping hair,

Only supreme in misery!

So farewell hope, and with hope farewell fear, Farewell remorse: all good to me is lost; Evil, be thou my good.
