Famous quotes containing the word milton:

    His legions, angel forms, who lay intranst
    Thick as autumnal leaves that strow the brooks
    In Vallombrosa, where th’Etrurian shades
    High overarcht imbowr.
    —John Milton (1608–1674)

    But he her fears to cease
    Sent down the meek-eyed Peace;
    She, crowned with olive green, came softly sliding
    Down through the turning sphere,
    His ready harbinger,
    With turtle wing the amorous clouds dividing,
    And waving wide her myrtle wand,
    She strikes a universal peace through sea and land.
    —John Milton (1608–1674)

    Came vested all in white, pure as her mind.
    Her face was veiled; yet to my fancied sight
    Love, sweetness, goodness, in her person shined
    So clear as in no face with more delight.
    But, O! as to embrace me she inclined,
    I waked, she fled, and day brought back my night.
    —John Milton (1608–1674)
