Yet From Those Flames No Light, But

'paradise Lost' Is One Of The Books Which The Reader Admires And Lays Down, And Forgets To Take Up Again. None Ever Wished It Longer Than It Is.

Where Eldest Night And Chaos, Ancestors Of Nature, Hold Eternal Anarchy Amidst The Noise Of Endless Wars, And By Confusion Stand; For Hot, Cold, Moist, And Dry, Four Champions Fierce, Strive Here For Mast'ry.

Truth Is As Impossible To Be Soiled By Any Outward Touch As The Sunbeam.

A Good Principle Not Rightly Understood May Prove As Hurtful As A Bad.

So May'st Thou Live, Till Like Ripe Fruit Thou Drop Into Thy Mother's Lap.
