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....”

That Angels led him when from thee he went,
For even in Error sure no Danger is
When joyn’d with so much Piety as His.”
