In Joan Vinge's "Tin Soldier" (collected in her EYES OF AMBER), the hero quotes a line from a poem, which is, so far as I can remember, is Arrayed in stars we shall forever sit triumphing over Death, and Chance, and thee, oh Time. He ascribes this quote to Milton. The question is, where in Milton is it? It doesn't show up in any book of quotations I could casually find, and I haven't the energy (right now) to read all of Milton to find it. Any Milton (or Vinge) scholars? - Mike ps. Sorry I may not have the quote exactly right; I seem to have permanently lent out my copy, and can't find a new one.
