The Investment of Influence

CHAPTER XII
13/28

Become a father, his ten sons became archers, skilled with darts that filled their father's heart with agony.

For nature loves justice; her rule is law, sometimes her rod is iron.
The principle that every deed is a seed that contains the germ of its own reward or punishment has received full interpretation by the poets and dramatists.

In his "Paradise Lost," Milton has made a detailed study of the principles of the spiritual harvests.

The poet represents Satan as an angel, fallen indeed, and sadly battered by his fall, yet still an archangel glorious for strength and beauty.

Having visited Paradise and accomplished the destruction of Eve's innocence and Adam's happiness, Satan returns home, passing over a bridge of more prodigious length than now arches the gulf between earth and hell.
