Angels

Famous quotes containing the word angels:

    But as these angels, the only halted ones
    among the many who passed and repassed,
    trod air as swimmers tread water, each gazing
    on the angelic wings of the other,
    the intelligence proper to great angels flew into their wings,
    the intelligence called intellectual love....
    Denise Levertov (b. 1923)

    And about her courts were seen
    Liveried angels robed in green,
    Wearing, by St Patrick’s bounty,
    Emeralds big as half the county.
    Walter Savage Landor (1775–1864)

    ...and the angels waited on him.
    Bible: New Testament, Mark 1:13.

    Of Jesus during the temptation.
