Milton Abbey

Famous quotes containing the words milton and/or abbey:

    Some natural tears they dropped, but wiped them soon;
    The world was all before them, where to choose
    Their place of rest, and Providence their guide;
    They, hand in hand, with wandering steps and slow
    Through Eden took their solitary way.
    —John Milton (1608–1674)

    The Abbey always reminds me of that old toast, “Above lofty timbers, the walls around are bare, echoing to our laughter, as though the dead were there.”
    Garrett Fort (1900–1945)
