Famous quotes containing the words milton and/or show:
“Her heavenly form
Angelic, but more soft and feminine,
Her graceful innocence, her every air
Of gesture or least action, overawed
His malice, and with rapine sweet bereaved
His fierceness of the fierce intent it brought.
That space of Evil One abstracted stood
From his own evil, and for the time remained
Stupidly good, of enmity disarmed,”
—John Milton (1608–1674)
“The country is not paradise, and can show the vices that grieve a good man everywhere. But there is room in it, and leisure.”
—E.M. (Edward Morgan)
