Flying Blue Angel

Famous quotes containing the words flying, blue and/or angel:

    “And more I may not write of, for they that cleave
    The waters of sleep can make a chattering tongue
    Heavy like stone, their wisdom being half silence.
    How shall I name you, immortal, mild, proud shadows?
    I only know that all we know comes from you,
    And that you come from Eden on flying feet.
    ”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “And nothing I cared, at my sky blue trades, that time allows
    In all his tuneful turning so few and such morning songs
    Before the children green and golden
    Follow him out of grace.”
    —Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)

    “And even you will come to this foul shame,
    This ultimate infection,
    Star of my eyes, my being’s inner flame,
    My angel and my passion!”
    —Allen Tate (1899–1979)
