John Milton Retire Quotations

For solitude is sometimes best society, And short retirement urges sweet return

The olive-grove of Academe, / Plato's retirement, where the Attic bird / Trills her thick-warbled notes the summer long.

A short retirement urges a sweet return.

The olive grove of Academe, Plato's retirement, where the Attic bird Trills her thick-warbled notes the summer long.

Retiring from the popular noise, I seek This unfrequented place to find some ease.
