John Milton on Immortality
← Back to John Milton Profile
“They eat, they drink, and in communion sweet Quaff immortality and joy.”
“For spirits that live throughout Vital in every part, not as frail man, In entrails, heart or head, liver or reins, Cannot but by annihilating die.”
“For who would lose, Though full of pain, this intellectual being, Those thoughts that wander through eternity, To perish rather, swallow'd up and lost In the wide womb of uncreated night, Devoid of sense and motion?”
