John Milton Twilight Quotations

In dim eclipse disastrous twilight sheds / On half the nations, and with fear of change / Perplexes monarchs.

Now came still evening on; and twilight gray Had in her sober livery all things clad: Silence accompanied; for beast and bird, They to they grassy couch, these to their nests, Were slunk, all but the wakeful nightingale.

In dim eclipse, disastrous twilight sheds On half the nations, and with fear of change Perplexes monarchs.

Dim eclipse, disastrous twilight.

From that high mount of God whence light and shade Spring both, the face of brightest heaven had changed To grateful twilight.
