And in the lowest deep a lower deep still threatening to devour me opens wide, to which the hell I suffer seems a heaven.

More from John Milton
"For what is liberty without wisdom, and without virtue? It is the greatest of all evils; for it is folly, vice, and madness, without tuition or restraint."
"Gorgons and Hydras and Chimæras dire."
"To measure things by things, and not by names."
"The world was all before them, where to choose Their place of rest, and Providence their guide: They hand in hand with wandering steps and slow, Through Eden took their solitary way."
"Let us not stand in a panic fear of every stroke of wind that blows, but if God do stir up them to do us good, we do look that this should be done with all freedom."
About John Milton (1608-1674)
English poet whose Paradise Lost (1667) is the canonical English epic, written while blind during the Restoration after his service to Cromwell's Commonwealth. Closely associated with Andrew Marvell (Commonwealth poet and friend who protected Milton at the Restoration). For an intellectual contrast, see King Charles II's Restoration court, the courtly, sexually-libertine, theater-reopened world of 1660s London — Milton wrote Paradise Lost as a defeated Republican; the Restoration culture around him celebrated everything his Commonwealth had banned. The cleanest 'losing side writes the masterpiece' moment in English literature — Paradise Lost's Satan is freighted with the political defeat of the regicides Milton served.
