I just started reading that book!

I need to re-read it. I've read book one countless times - for the bit quoted here because I find it one of the most moving passages in English lit - but it has been ages since I've read the whole thing.

[laeva]

'Evil, be thou my good,
By thee at least divided empire
With Heaven's King I hold,
By thee; and more than half perhaps shall reign
As Man erelong, and this new world shall know.'

I love that you quoted Milton's Satan.

Thank you.

Another good one! And the lines that proceed .... I hadn't thought about that passage in a while. Milton's Satan is so very interesting. I really do need to reread the whole work again.
