Okay

I think I'm posting this in the right place; and I hope you'll not consider it an inappropriate question...

I'm looking for a quote. A quote from the work of the English poet John Milton. Specifically, about mirrors... or glasses, or reflections - anything really. Whole or broken; big or small. Mirrors.

I appreciate it's an odd request--kind of vague and specific at the same time?--, but I felt that this was the right community to ask. It's for a college essay (a fact that'll probably have some of you rolling your eyes, I imagine) - it's a shot in the dark and I realise I may receive no responses. However, I figured if there was any forum on the internet that might have a few experts on Milton, it'd be you guys

I hope you can help; please leave a message if you'd like any more info' from me

Thanks a lot

Cambuscan's mirror is mentioned in Il Penseroso (called a Glass), and there must be at least one reference in Paradise Lost. Maybe look up some criticism on Milton's blindness, might give you something to work with.
