← All quotes by John Milton

3 quotes

Anon, out of the earth a fabric huge
Rose, like an exhalation.

Nor did there want
Cornice or frieze with bossy sculpture graven.

The hasty multitude
Admiring enter'd, and the work some praise,
And some the architect: his hand was known
In heaven by many a tower'd structure high,
Where scepter'd angels held their residence,
And sat as princes.
