Milton Abbey

Famous quotes containing the words milton and/or abbey:

    This is the month, and this the happy morn,
    Wherein the Son of heav’n’s eternal King,
    Of wedded Maid and Virgin Mother born,
    Our great redemption from above did bring.
    —John Milton (1608–1674)

    The Abbey always reminds me of that old toast, “Above lofty timbers, the walls around are bare, echoing to our laughter, as though the dead were there.”
    Garrett Fort (1900–1945)
