"Powers and Dominions, Deities of Heaven!-- /
For, since no deep within her gulf can hold /
Immortal vigour, though oppressed and fallen,/
I give not Heaven for lost: from this descent/
Celestial Virtues rising will appear/
More glorious and more dread than from no fall,/
And trust themselves to fear no second fate!--/
Me though just right, and the fixed laws of Heaven,/
Did first create your leader--next, free choice/
With what besides in council or in fight/
Hath been achieved of merit--yet this loss,/
Thus far at least recovered, hath much more/
Established in a safe, unenvied throne,/
Yielded with full consent. The happier state/
In Heaven, which follows dignity, might draw/
Envy from each inferior; but who here/
Will envy whom the highest place exposes/
Foremost to stand against the Thunderer's aim/
Your bulwark, and condemns to greatest share/
Of endless pain? Where there is, then, no good/
For which to strive, no strife can grow up there/
From faction: for none sure will claim in Hell/
Precedence; none whose portion is so small/
Of present pain that with ambitious mind/
Will covet more!
--Paradise Lost, John Milton

That's beautiful. I'm afraid I was forced to print it out and stick it on my daydream cupboard. It looks like a page full of stories :D
Thank you. :)
