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)

    “Tommy is three and when he’s bad
    his mother dances with him.
    She puts on the record,
    “Red Roses for a Blue Lady”
    and throws him across the room.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    “The Angel that presided o’er my birth
    Said, “Little creature, formed of Joy and Mirth,
    Go love without the help of any thing on earth.”
