John Milton
“Me miserable! Which way shall I fly
Infinite wrath and infinite despair?
Which way I fly is hell; myself am hell;
And in the lowest deep a lower deep,
Still threat'ning to devour me, opens wide,
To which the hell I suffer seems a heaven.”
John Milton, Paradise Lost

John Milton
“I sung of Chaos and Eternal Night,
Taught by the heav'nly Muse to venture down

John Milton, Paradise Lost

Homer
“And overpowered by memory
Both men gave way to grief. Priam wept freely
For man - killing Hector, throbbing, crouching
Before Achilles' feet as Achilles wept himself,
Now for his father, now for Patroclus once again
And their sobbing rose and fell throughout the house.”
Homer, The Iliad

John Milton
“Did I request thee, Maker, from my clay
To mould me man? Did I solicit thee
From darkness to promote me?”
John Milton, Paradise Lost

Homer
“Be strong, saith my heart; I am a soldier;
I have seen worse sights than this.”
Homer, The Iliad
