Famous quotes containing the word fountain:

    “Hail holy Light, of spring of Heav’n first-born,
    Or of th’ Eternal Coeternal beam
    May I express thee unblam’d? since God is Light,
    And never but in unapproached Light
    Dwelt from Eternitie, dwelt then in thee,
    Bright effluence of bright essence in create.
    Or hear’st thou rather pure Ethereal stream,
    Whose Fountain who shall tell?”
    —John Milton (1608–1674)
