Heaven open'd wide Her ever during gates, harmonious sound, On golden hinges moving.

John Milton 1062 quotes

So may'st thou live, till lik...

So may'st thou live, till like ripe fruit thou drop Into thy mother's lap, or be with ease Gathered, not harshly plucked, for death mature: This is old age; but then thou must outlive Thy youth, thy strength, thy beauty, which will change To withered weak and grey.

John Milton 1062 quotes

The earth, though in comparis...

The earth, though in comparison of heaven so small, nor glistering, may of solid good contain more plenty than the sun, that barren shines.

John Milton 1062 quotes

Virtue, which breaks through ...

Virtue, which breaks through opposition and all temptation can remove, most shines, and most is acceptable above.

John Milton 1062 quotes

Alas! What boots it with unce...

Alas! What boots it with uncessant care To tend the homely slighted Shepherd's trade, And strictly meditate the thankless muse; Were it not better done as others use, To sport with Amaryllis in the shade, Or with the tangles of Neaera's hair? Fame is the spur that the clear spirit doth raise (That last infirmity of noble mind) To scorn delights, and live laborious days; But the fair guerdon when we hope to find, And think to burst out into sudden blaze, Comes the blind Fury with th'abhorred shears, And slits the thin-spun life.

John Milton 1062 quotes

'Paradise Lost' is one of the books which the reader admires and lays down, and forgets to take up again. None ever wished it longer than it is.

John Milton 1062 quotes

Yet some there be that by due...

Yet some there be that by due steps aspire To lay their just hands on that golden key That opes the palace of Eternity.

John Milton 1062 quotes

Th'invention all admir'd, and...

Th'invention all admir'd, and each, how he to be th'inventor miss'd; so easy it seem'd once found, which yet unfound most would have thought impossible.

John Milton 1062 quotes

The wife, where danger or dis...

The wife, where danger or dishonour lurks, Safest and seemliest by her husband stays, Who guards her, or with her the worst endures.

John Milton 1062 quotes

For the air of youth, Hopeful...

For the air of youth, Hopeful and cheerful, in thy blood will reign A melancholy damp of cold and dry To weigh thy spirits down, and last consume The balm of life.

John Milton 1062 quotes

I call a complete and generou...

I call a complete and generous education that which fits a man to perform justly, skillfully, and magnanimously all the offices, both private and public, of peace and war.

John Milton 1062 quotes

But oh the heavy change, now ...

But oh the heavy change, now thou art gone, Now thou art gone and never must return!

John Milton 1062 quotes

Should God create another Eve...

Should God create another Eve, and I Another Rib afford, yet loss of thee Would never from my heart; no no, I feel The Link of Nature draw me: Flesh of Flesh, Bone of my Bone thou art, and from thy State Mine never shall be parted, bliss or woe.

John Milton 1062 quotes

O fairest flower! no sooner b...

O fairest flower! no sooner blown but blasted, Soft silken primrose fading timelessly.

John Milton 1062 quotes

And may at last my weary age ...

And may at last my weary age Find out the peaceful hermitage, The hairy gown and mossy cell, Where I may sit and rightly spell Of every star that heaven doth shew, And every herb that sips the dew, Till old experience to attain To something like prophetic strain.

John Milton 1062 quotes

With diadem and sceptre high ...

With diadem and sceptre high advanced, The lower still I fall; only supreme In misery; such joy ambition finds.

John Milton 1062 quotes

For contemplation he and valour formed; / For softness she and sweet attractive grace, / He for God only, she for God in him: / His fair large front and eye sublime declared / Absolute rule.

John Milton 1062 quotes

Haste thee, Nymph, and bring ...

Haste thee, Nymph, and bring with thee Jest, and youthful Jollity, Quips, and Cranks, and wanton Wiles, Nods, and Becks, and wreathed Smiles, Such as hang on Hebe's cheek, And love to live in dimple sleek; Sport that wrinkled Care derides, And Laughter holding both his sides.

John Milton 1062 quotes

To overcome in battle, and su...

To overcome in battle, and subdue Nations, and bring home spoils with infinite Man-slaughter, shall be held the highest pitch Of human glory.

Her silent course advance With inoffensive pace, that spinning sleeps On her soft axle.
