Fallen Angel

Famous quotes containing the words fallen and/or angel:

    “Like fallen apples, they will lose
    Their sweetness at the bruise,
    And then decay.”
    —Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    “I askèd a thief to steal me a peach
    He turned up his eyes
    I ask’d a lithe lady to lie her down
    Holy & meek she cries—

    As soon as I went
    An angel came.
    He wink’d at the thief
    And smild at the dame—

    And without one word said
    Had a peach from the tree
    And still as a maid
    Enjoy’d the lady.”
    —William Blake (1757–1827)
