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

The correct answer is " Of bliss on bliss, while I to Hell am thrust,

Where neither joy nor love, but fierce desire, "

In these two lines he speaks how he is cast into hell where he will eternally desire to experience the beauty of Eden.
