Read the passage.

Receive thy new possessor, one who brings
A mind not to be changed by place or time.
The mind is its own place, and in itself
Can make a Heaven of Hell, a Hell of Heaven.
What is Satan saying about the mind in these lines from Paradise Lost by John Milton?


It is a terrible thing to waste a mind.
One must adapt one’s mind to changing situations.
The mind is a powerful tool that can affect one’s entire perspective.
The mind is powerful, and during trying times one must guard against insanity.
