Famous quotes containing the word milton:
“What will you say, when I tell you truly, that I cannot possibly read our countryman Milton through. I acknowledge him to have most sublime passages, some prodigious flashes of light; but then you must acknowledge that light is often followed by darkness visible, to use his own expression.”
—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
