..Milton...
"They also serve who only stand and wait." Thus from the shadows did the bard indite For whom no more the roses red and white In his loved plot did richly alternate ; For whom the throssel and the stream in spate Were voices only, and the heavens at night Showed not a lesser or a greater light, And dawn was neutral, an unciphered slate. But did he serve in dumbness? From the tower, From the unconquered foriress of his mind Reverberated rumour of his power. Strong to conunand the homage of Mankind, And he distilled the Paradisal flower For comfort to the weary and ‘the blind.
