Angels

Famous quotes containing the word angels:

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

    Joyce for all his devotion to his art, terrible in its austerity, was a lad born with a song on one side of him, a dance on the other—two gay guardian angels every human ought to have.
    Sean O’Casey (1884–1964)

    The guided missiles,
    The black-and-white angels follow each quirk and jink of
    The evasive sheep, play grandmother’s-steps behind them,
    Freeze to the ground, or leap to head off a straggler
    Cecil Day Lewis (1904–1972)
