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 (18651939)
“Dear Friend,
the canebrakes
nestled in the riverbanks lap,
their clusters broken
from the weight of blue bees,
have in time
become stumps.”
—Hla Stavhana (c. 50 A.D.)
“But virtue, as it never will be moved,
Though lewdness court it in a shape of heaven,
So lust, though to a radiant angel linked,
Will sate itself in a celestial bed
And prey on garbage.”
—William Shakespeare (15641616)
