Milton

Famous quotes containing the word milton:

    So having said, a while he stood, expecting
    Their universal shout and high applause
    To fill his ear; when contrary, he hears,
    On all sides, from innumerable tongues
    A dismal universal hiss, the sound
    Of public scorn.
    —John Milton (1608–1674)

    Thus the orb he roamed
    With narrow search, and with inspection deep
    Considered every creature, which of all
    Most opportune might serve his wiles, and found
    The serpent subtlest beast of all the field.
    —John Milton (1608–1674)

    Triumphing over Death, and Chance, and thee O Time.
    —John Milton (1608–1674)
