The almighty power

The almighty power

This and the next nine pictures were taken from Paradise Lost, by John Milton, published by Collier, New York, 1866.

… Him the Almighty Power
Hurled headlong flaming from th’ ethereal sky,
With hideous ruin and combustion, down
To bottomless perdition, there to dwell
In adamantine chains and penal fire,
Who durst defy th’ Omnipotent to arms.
