John Milton on Ghosts
← Back to John Milton Profile
“Whence and what are thou, execrable shape?”
“For spirits when they please Can either sex assume, or both.”
“Of calling shapes, and beck'ning shadows dire, And airy tongues that syllable men's names.”
“All heart they live, all head, all eye, all ear, All intellect, all sense, and as they please They limb themselves, and colour, shape, or size Assume, as likes them best, condense or rare.”
