Other beaches, on other days.


Paradise Lost: The Fourth Book

But other Powers as great
Fell not, but stand unshaken, from within
Or from without to all temptations armed!
Hadst thou the same free will and power to stand?
Thou hadst. Whom has thou then, or what, to accuse,
But Heaven’s free love dealt equally to all?
Be then his love accursed, since, love or hate,
To me alike it deals eternal woe.

John Milton. (1608–1674). Complete Poems.
The Harvard Classics. 1909–14.
