Farewell Hope, and with Hope farewell Fear
John MiltonTags: hope
Some natural tears they dropped, but wiped them soon; The world was all before them, where to choose their place of rest, and Providence their guide: They hand in hand with wand'ring steps and slow, through Eden took their solitary way.

nto this wilde Abyss the warie fiend
Stood on the brink of Hell and look'd a while,
Pondering his Voyage; for no narrow frith
He had to cross.
Frei ist, wer der Vernunft gehorcht.
John MiltonAssuredly we bring not innocence into the world, we bring impurity much rather: that which purifies us is trial, and trial is by what is contrary…. They are not skillful considerers of human things who imagine to remove sin by removing the matter of sin. For … it is a huge heap increasing under the very act of diminishing…. Good and evil we know in the field of this world grow up together almost inseparably…. It was from out of the rind of one apple tasted, that the knowledge of good and evil, as two twins cleaving together, leaped forth into this world. And perhaps this is that doom which Adam fell into of knowing good and evil, that is, of knowing good by evil.
John MiltonFrom his lips/Not words alone pleased her.
John MiltonAnd on their naked limbs the flowry roof/Show'r'd Rose, which the Morn repair'd.
John MiltonYet from those flames No light, but rather darkness visible.
John MiltonWhat hath night to do with sleep?
John MiltonTags: sleep night paradise-lost
Still paying, still to owe.
Eternal woe!
