Famous quotes containing the word milton:

    So spake our Father penitent; nor Eve
    Felt less remorse. They, forthwith to the place
    Repairing where he judged them, prostrate fell
    Before him reverent, and both confessed
    Humbly their faults, and pardon begged, with tears
    Watering the ground, and with their sighs the air
    Frequenting, sent from hearts contrite, in sign
    Of sorrow unfeigned and humiliation meek.
    —John Milton (1608–1674)
