In this excerpt from "paradise lost" what lines talk about satans longing for love

Sight hateful, sight tormenting! thus these two
Imparadis't in one anothers arms
The happier Eden, shall enjoy their fill
Of bliss on bliss, while I to Hell am thrust,
Where neither joy nor love, but fierce desire,
Among our other torments not the least,
Still unfulfill'd with pain of longing pines;
Yet let me not forget what I have gain'd
From their own mouths; all is not theirs it seems

Answer: "Of bliss on bliss, while I to Hell am thrust,

Where neither joy nor love, but fierce desire,..."

Explanation: In this excerpt from "Paradise Lost" by John Milton the lines that talk about Satan's longing for love are mentioned above. Satan states that in the happier Eden they are from bliss to bliss while he is condemned to Hell, where there is no joy or love. At the beginning the author makes Satan appealing to seduce us as evil does.
