He who destroys a good book kills reason itself.

Reading

Let none admire that riches grow in hell; that soil may best deserve the precious bane.

He that has light within his own clear breast May sit in the centre, and enjoy bright day: But he that hides a dark soul and foul thoughts Benighted walks under the mid-day sun; Himself his own dungeon.

With ruin upon ruin, rout on rout, / Confusion worse confounded.

Dear son of memory, great heir of fame, / What need'st thou such weak witness of thy name?

Heav'n of Hell, a Hell of Heav'n.

O'er many a frozen, many a fiery Alp, / Rocks, caves, lakes, fens, bogs, dens, and shades of death.

Hence loathèd Melancholy, / Of Cerberus and blackest Midnight born.

Into a Limbo large and broad, since called / The paradise of fools, to few unknown.

Praising the lean and sallow abstinence.

When I consider how my light is spent / Ere half my days in this dark world and wide, / And that one talent which is death to hide, / Lodged with me useless.

Still govern thou my song, / Urania, and fit audience find, though few.

And ever, against eating cares, / Lap me in soft Lydian airs, / Married to immortal verse / Such as the meeting soul may pierce / In notes, with many a winding bout / Of linkèd sweetness long drawn out.

So when the sun in bed, / Curtained with cloudy red, / Pillows his chin upon an orient wave.

A shout that tore hell's concave, and beyond / Frightened the reign of Chaos and old Night.
