What can 'scape the eye Of Go...

What can 'scape the eye Of God, all-seeing, or deceive His heart. Omniscient!

John Milton 1062 quotes

So on this windy sea of land,...

So on this windy sea of land, the Fiend Walked up and down alone bent on his prey.

John Milton 1062 quotes

What in me is dark Illumine, ...

What in me is dark Illumine, what is low raise and support, That to the height of this great argument I may assert eternal Providence, And justify the ways of God to men. 1 Paradise Lost. Book i. Line 22.

Come and trip it as ye go
On the light fantastic toe.

John Milton 1062 quotes

Chaos umpire sits And by decision more embroils the fray by which he reigns: next him high arbiter Chance governs all.

John Milton 1062 quotes

Daughter to that good Earl, o...

Daughter to that good Earl, once President Of England's Council, and her Treasury, Who lived in both, unstained with gold or fee, And left them both, more in himself content, Till sad the breaking of that Parliament Broke him, as that dishonest victory At Chaeronea, fatal to liberty, Killed with report that old man eloquent. Though later born than to have known the days Wherein your father flourished, yet by you, Madam, methinks I see him living yet; So well your words his noble virtues praise, That all both judge you to relate them true, And to possess them, honoured Margaret.

John Milton 1062 quotes

Virtue could see to do what v...

Virtue could see to do what virtue would By her own radiant light, though sun and moon Were in the flat sea sunk. And Wisdom's self Oft seeks to sweet retired solitude, Where with her best nurse Contemplation She plumes her feathers and lets grow her wings, That in the various bustle of resort Were all-to ruffled, and sometimes impair'd. He that has light within his own clear breast May sit i' th' centre and enjoy bright day; But he that hides a dark soul and foul thoughts Benighted walks under the midday sun.

John Milton 1062 quotes

Myself, and all the Angelic H...

Myself, and all the Angelic Host, that stand in the sight of God enthroned, our happy state hold, as you yours, while our obedience hold. On other surety none: freely we serve, because we freely love.

John Milton 1062 quotes

Yet I argue not Against Heav'...

Yet I argue not Against Heav'n's hand or will, nor bate a jot Of heart or hope; but still bear up and steer Right onward.

John Milton 1062 quotes

None But such as are good men...

None But such as are good men can give good things, And that which is not good, is not delicious To a well-govern'd and wise appetite.

John Milton 1062 quotes

Ornate rhetorick taught out o...

Ornate rhetorick taught out of the rule of Plato.... To which poetry would be made subsequent, or indeed rather precedent, as being less suttle and fine, but more simple, sensuous, and passionate.

John Milton 1062 quotes

Laws can discover sin, but no...

Laws can discover sin, but not remove it

John Milton 1062 quotes

And some are fall'n, to disob...

And some are fall'n, to disobedience fall'n, And so from Heav'n to deepest Hell; O fall From what high state of bliss into what woe!

John Milton 1062 quotes

With a smile that glow'd Cele...

With a smile that glow'd Celestial rosy red, love's proper hue.

John Milton 1062 quotes

How charming is divine philos...

How charming is divine philosophy! Not harsh and crabbed, as dull fools suppose, But musical as is Apollo's lute, And a perpetual feast of nectar'd sweets Where no crude surfeit reigns

John Milton 1062 quotes

Hate is of all things the mig...

Hate is of all things the mightiest divider, nay, is division itself. To couple hatred, therefore, though wedlock try all her golden links, and borrow to tier aid all the iron manacles and fetters of law, it does but seek to twist a rope of sand.

John Milton 1062 quotes

Sweetest Echo, sweetest nymph...

Sweetest Echo, sweetest nymph, that liv'st unseen Within thy airy shell, By slow Meander's margent green, And in the violet-embroidered vale.

John Milton 1062 quotes

Come, pensive nun, devout and...

Come, pensive nun, devout and pure, sober steadfast, and demure, all in a robe of darkest grain, flowing with majestic train.

John Milton 1062 quotes

Capricious, wanton, bold, and...

Capricious, wanton, bold, and brutal Lust Is meanly selfish; when resisted, cruel; And, like the blast of Pestilential Winds, Taints the sweet bloom of Nature's fairest forms.

John Milton 1062 quotes

Here we may reign secure; and...

Here we may reign secure; and in my choice
To reign is worth ambition, though in hell:
Better to reign in hell than serve in heaven.
