Additional quotes by John Milton

Under the opening eyelids of the morn,
We drove afield; and both together heard
What time the gray-fly winds her sultry horn,
Batt'ning our flocks with the fresh dews of night.

I sung of chaos and eternal night, Taught by the heav'nly Muse to venture down the dark decent, and up to reascend...

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

But wherefore thou alone? Wherefore with thee Came not all hell broke loose? - John Milton
