Hail, holy light! offspring of heav'n first born.The rising world of waters dark and deep.Thoughts that voluntary move Harmonious numbers.Thus with the year Seasons return; but not to me returns Day, or the sweet approach of ev'n or morn, Or sight of vernal bloom, or summer's rose, Or flocks, or herds, or human face divine; But cloud...I made him just and right, Sufficient to have stood, though free to fall.Golden days, fruitful of golden deeds, With joy and love triumphing.Satan, now first inflam’d with rage, came down, The Tempter ere th’ Accuser of man-kind, To wreck on innocent frail man his loss Of that first Battel, and his flight to Hell: Yet not rejoycing in h...
Now morn, her rosy steps in th' eastern clime Advancing, sow'd the earth with orient pearl, When Adam wak'd, so custom'd; for his sleep Was aery light, from pure digestion bred.
Morn, Waked by the circling hours, with rosy hand Unbarred the gates of light.Servant of God, well done, well hast thou fought The better fight, who single hast maintained Against revolted multitudes the cause Of truth, in word mightier than they in arms.How few somtimes may know, when thousands err.Arms on armour clashing bray'd Horrible discord, and the madding wheels Of brazen chariots rag'd: dire was the noise Of conflict.Spirits that live throughout, Vital in every part, not as frail man, In entrails, heart or head, liver or reins, Cannot but by annihilating die.Far off his coming shone.More safe I sing with mortal voice, unchanged To hoarse or mute, though fall'n, and evil tongues; In darkness, and with dangers compassed round, And solitude.
The angel ended, and in Adam's ear So charming left his voice that he awhile Thought him still speaking, still stood fixed to hear.
My unpremeditated verse.Pleas'd me, long choosing and beginning late.Not sedulous by Nature to indite Warrs, hitherto the onely Argument Heroic deem'd, chief maistrie to dissect With long and tedious havoc fabl'd Knights In Battels feign'd; the better fortitude Of P...Unless an age too late, or cold Climate, or years, damp my intended wing.The serpent subtlest beast of all the field.Revenge, at first though sweet, Bitter ere long back on itself recoils.I shall temper so Justice with mercy.So scented the grim Feature, and upturn'd His nostril wide into the murky air, Sagacious of his quarry from so far.Pandemonium, city and proud seat Of Lucifer.A dismal universal hiss, the sound Of public scorn.Death...on his pale horse.Did I request thee, Maker, from my clay To mould Me man? Did I solicit thee From darkness to promote me?- “The mind is its own place, and in itself can make a heaven of hell, a hell of heaven..” ― John Milton, Paradise Lost.
- “What hath night to do with sleep?” ― John Milton, Paradise Lost.
- “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.”
