Paradise Lost

by John Milton

With loss of Eden, till one greater Man 5 Restore us,

All is not lost—the unconquerable will,

Our enemy, our own loss how repair, How overcome this dire calamity,

What reinforcement we may gain from hope, If not, what resolution from despair.”

A mind not to be changed by place or time. The mind is its own place, and in itself 255 Can make a Heaven of Hell, a Hell of Heaven.
