Quote #48

That old man eloquent.

— John Milton

More from John Milton

  1. As ever in my great Taskmaster's eye.
  2. That would have made Quintilian stare and gasp.
  3. Thy liquid notes that close the eye of day.
  4. License they mean when they cry, Liberty! For who loves that must first be wise and good.
  5. O fairest flower! no sooner blown but blasted, Soft silken primrose fading timelessly.
  6. What neat repast shall feast us, light and choice, Of Attic taste?
  7. Such as may make thee search the coffers round.
  8. Have hung My dank and dropping weeds To the stern god of sea.
