Of that high mountain, whence he might behold
Another plain, long but in bredth not wide;
Wash'd by the Southern Sea, and on the North
To equal length back'd with a ridge of hills
That screen'd the fruits of the earth and seats of men [ 30 ]
From cold Septentrion blasts, thence in the midst
Divided by a river, of whose banks
On each side an Imperial City stood
With Towers and Temples proudly elevate
On seven small Hills, with Palaces adorn'd, [ 35 ]
Porches and Theatres, Baths, Aqueducts
Statues and Trophees, and Triumphal Arcs
Gardens and Groves presented to his eyes
Above the highth of Mountains interpos'd: John Milton (Ft. Matthew & St Luke the Evangelist) – Paradise Regain'd, Book 4

Into this wilderness; to what intent
I learn not yet. Perhaps I need not know;
For what concerns my knowledge God reveals." John Milton – Paradise Regain'd, Book 1
