Famous quotes containing the words john m:

    “In darkness, and with dangers compast round,
    And solitude; yet not alone, while thou
    Visit’st my slumbers Nightly, or when Morn
    Purples the East: still govern thou my Song,
    Urania, and fit audience find, though few.”
    —John Milton (1608–1674)
