Sir Milton Margai

Famous quotes containing the words sir and/or milton:

    Dug from the tomb of taste-refining time,
    Each form is exquisite, each block sublime.
    Or good, or bad,—disfigur’d, or deprav’d,—
    All art, is at its resurrection sav’d;
    All crown’d with glory in the critic’s heav’n,
    Each merit magnified, each fault forgiven.
    Martin Archer, Sir Shee (1769–1850)

    “. . . Me miserable! which way shall I fly
    Infinite wrath and infinite despair?
    Which way I fly is Hell; myself am Hell;
    And, in the lowest deep, a lower deep
    Still threat’ning to devour me opens wide,
    To which the Hell I suffer seems a Heaven.
    —John Milton (1608–1674)
