Angels

Famous quotes containing the word angels:

“The angels were all singing out of tune,
And hoarse with having little else to do,
Excepting to wind up the sun and moon
Or curb a runaway young star or two.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)

“The angels are stooping
Above your bed;
They weary of trooping
With the whimpering dead.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

“Though seas and land be ‘twixt us both,
Our faith and troth,
Like separated souls,
All time and space controls:
Above the highest sphere we meet
Unseen, unknown, and greet as angels greet.”
—Richard Lovelace (1618–1658)
