"And from the terror of his countenance, who durst not behold him, that was yet so fair, and lovely to look upon, had not his great transgression chang'd him."
"Long is the way And hard, that out of Hell leads up to light."
"God made man, and out of man, woman."
"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."
"Solitude sometimes is best society."
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.
