Epic poem1 quote
Now glowed the firmament
With living sapphires: Hesperus that led
The starry Host, rode brightest, till the Moon
Rising in clouded Majesty, at length
Apparent Queen unveiled her peerless light,
And o'er the dark her Silver Mantle threw. — John Milton · 1667Religious literature1 quote
