Additional quotes by John Milton

And add to these retired Leisure,
That in trim gardens takes his pleasure.

Sometime let gorgeous Tragedy
In sceptred pall come sweeping by,
Presenting Thebes, or Pelops' line,
Or the tale of Troy divine.

Beholding the bright countenance of truth in the quiet and still air of delightful studies.
