Now conscience wakes despair That slumber'd,-wakes the bitter memory Of what he was, what is, and what must be Worse.

John Milton 1062 quotes

A gulf profound as that Serbon...

A gulf profound as that Serbonian bog Betwixt Damiata and Mount Casius old, Where armies whole have sunk: the parching air Burns frore, and cold performs th' effect of fire. Thither by harpy-footed Furies hal'd, At certain revolutions all the damn'd Are brought, and feel by turns the bitter change Of fierce extremes,-extremes by change more fierce; From beds of raging fire to starve in ice Their soft ethereal warmth, and there to pine Immovable, infix'd, and frozen round, Periods of time; thence hurried back to fire.

John Milton 1062 quotes

Nations grow corrupt, love bon...

Nations grow corrupt, love bondage more than liberty; bondage with ease than strenuous liberty.

John Milton 1062 quotes

As children gath'ring pebbles ...

As children gath'ring pebbles on the shore. Or if I would delight my private hours With music or with poem, where so soon As in our native language can I find That solace?

John Milton 1062 quotes

Yet from those flames No light...

Yet from those flames No light, but rather darkness visible.

Of calling shapes, and beck'ning shadows dire,
And airy tongues that syllable men's names.

Come to the sunset tree! The day is past and gone; The woodman's axe lies free, And the reaper's work is done.

John Milton 1062 quotes

First Moloch, horrid king, bes...

First Moloch, horrid king, besmirched in blood, Of Human sacrifice, and parent's tears, Though, for the noise of drums and timbrels loud, Their childrens' cries unheard, that passed through fire, To his grim idol.

Behold now this vast city [London]; a city of refuge, the mansion-house of liberty, encompassed and surrounded with His protection.

Our state cannot be severed, we are one, One flesh; to lose thee were to lose myself.

Awake, arise or be for ever fall'n.

John Milton 1062 quotes

For books are not absolutely dead things, but do contain a potency of life in them to be as active as that soul was whose progeny they are; nay, they do preserve as in a vial the purest efficacy and extraction of that living intellect that bred them.

John Milton 1062 quotes

And oft, though wisdom wake, suspicion sleeps At wisdom's gate, and to simplicity Resigns her charge, while goodness thinks no ill Where no ill seems.

John Milton 1062 quotes

Vain wisdom all, and false phi...

Vain wisdom all, and false philosophy.

John Milton 1062 quotes

Such sights as youthful poets ...

Such sights as youthful poets dream On summer eves by haunted stream. Then to the well-trod stage anon, If Jonson's learned sock be on, Or sweetest Shakespeare, Fancy's child, Warble his native wood-notes wild.

John Milton 1062 quotes

So dear to heav'n is saintly c...

So dear to heav'n is saintly chastity, That when a soul is found sincerely so, A thousand liveried angels lackey her, Driving far off each thing of sin and guilt, And in clear dream and solemn vision Tell her of things that no gross ear can hear, Till oft converse with heav'nly habitants Begin to cast a beam on th' outward shape.
