Careful Words

lowest (adv.)

lowest (adj.)

Which way shall I fly

Infinite wrath and infinite despair?

Which way I fly is hell; myself am hell;

And in the lowest deep a lower deep,

Still threat'ning to devour me, opens wide,

To which the hell I suffer seems a heaven.

John Milton (1608-1674): Paradise Lost. Book iv. Line 73.

Not to know me argues yourselves unknown,

The lowest of your throng.

John Milton (1608-1674): Paradise Lost. Book iv. Line 830.
