Selections from ‘Milton’

[A River in Eden]

THERE is in Eden a sweet River of milk and liquid pearl

Nam’d Ololon, on whose mild banks dwelt those who Milton drove

Down into Ulro; and they wept in long-resounding song

For seven days of Eternity, and the River’s living banks,

The mountains wail’d, and every plant that grew, in solemn sighs, lamented.
