Angels Won

Famous quotes containing the words angels and/or won:

“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....”
—Denise Levertov (b. 1923)

“After having won a scepter, few are so generous as to disdain the pleasures of ruling.”
