Quote by John Milton

The stars, that nature hung in heaven, and filled their lamps with everlasting oil, give due light to the misled and lonely traveller.

The stars, that nature hung in heaven, and filled their lamp

Summary

This quote highlights the beauty and guidance that the stars provide to those who are lost and alone. By describing them as lamps filled with everlasting oil, it suggests that the stars offer a constant source of light and hope in the dark and uncertain journey of one's life. Just as they serve as a navigational guide for travellers, the stars symbolize the presence of guidance and comfort in an otherwise confusing and lonesome world.
