A Quote by John Milton on admiration, divinity, gold, heaven, spirit, and vision

Mammon, the least erected spirit that fell >From heaven; for ev'n in heaven his looks and thoughts Were always downward bent, admiring more The riches of heaven's pavement, trodden gold, Than aught divine or holy else enjoy'd In vision beatific.

John Milton (1608 - 1674)
