Paradise Lost

@paradise-lost.bsky.social

Greatness of mind and
Nobleness their seat
Build in her loveliest, and
create an awe
About her, as a guard angelick
placed.
To whom the Angel with
contracted brow.
Accuse not Nature, she hath
done her part;
Do thou but thine; and be not
diffident

VIII, 557-562
