How charming is divine Philosophy! Not harsh, and crabbed, as dull fools suppose, But musical as is Apollo's lute, And a perpetual feast of nectared sweets, Where no crude surfeit reigns.

"Millions of spiritual creatures walk the earth unseen, both when we wake, and when we sleep."
"What hath night to do with sleep?"
"What more oft in nations grown corrupt, And by their vices brought to servitude, Than to love bondage more than liberty?"
"For God, when he gave the command to multiply, did not mean that it should be a perpetual or a forced generation, but a free and voluntary one."
"He who destroys a good book, kills reason itself."
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.
