Letter "J" » John Milton Quotes

«Fairy damsels met in forest wide / By knights of Logres, or of Lyones, / Lancelot or Pelleas, or Pellenore.»
«Thus with the year / Seasons return, but not to me returns / Day, or the sweet approach of ev'n or morn, / Or sight of vernal bloom, or summer's rose, / Or flocks, or herds, or human face divine.»
Author: John Milton
(Historian, Poet, Scholar)

«His form had yet not lost / All her original brightness, nor appeared / Less than archangel ruined, and th' excess / Of glory obscured.»
«Thence up he flew, and on the Tree of Life,/ The middle tree and highest there that grew, / Sat like a cormorant.»
