The Expulsion from Eden from Paradise Lost

The Expulsion from Eden Paradise Lost from Book 12 John Milton1608-1674 Poems on the Underground 1998 Poster 'In either hand the hast'ning angel caught Our ling'ring parents, and to th' eastern gate Led them direct, and down the cliff as fast To the subjected plain; then disappeared. They looking back, all th'eastern side beheld Of Paradise, so late their happy seat ,Waved over by that flaming brand, the gate With dreadful faces thronged and fiery arms. Some natural tears they dropped, but wiped them soon; The world was all before them, where to choose Their place of rest, and Providence their guide: They hand in hand with wand'ring steps and slow, Through Eden took their solitary way.'
