Angels

Famous quotes containing the word angels:

    “when such bodies join
    There is no touching here, nor touching there,
    Nor straining joy, but whole is joined to whole;
    For the intercourse of angels is a light
    Where for its moment both seem lost, consumed.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “Great is the art,
    Great be the manners, of the bard.
    He shall not his brain encumber
    With the coil of rhythm and number;
    But, leaving rule and pale forethought,
    He shall aye climb
    For his rhyme.
    “Pass in, pass in,” the angels say,”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

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