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)

    “Buz, quoth the blue fly,
    Hum, quoth the bee,
    Buz and hum they cry,
    And so do we:
    In his ear, in his nose, thus, do you see?
    He ate the dormouse, else it was he.”
    —Ben Jonson (1572–1637)

    “O, what may man within him hide,
    Though angel on the outward side!”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
