John Milton on Prayer
← Back to John Milton Profile
“Hear his sighs though mute; Unskillful with what words to pray, let me Interpret for him.”
“And if by prayer Incessant I could hope to change the will Of Him who all things can, I would not cease To weary Him with my assiduous cries.”
“But that from us aught should ascend to Heav'n So prevalent as to concern the mind Of God, high-bless'd, or to incline His will, Hard to belief may seem; yet this will prayer.”
