Angels

Famous quotes containing the word angels:

“And about her courts were seen
Liveried angels robed in green,
Wearing, by St Patrick’s bounty,
Emeralds big as half the county.”

And hoarse with having little else to do,
Excepting to wind up the sun and moon,
Or curb a runaway young star or two,”
