Famous quotes containing the words gabriel and/or leader:
“The rose and poppy are her flowers; for where
Is he not found, O Lilith, whom shed scent
And soft-shed kisses and soft sleep shall snare?
Lo! as that youths eyes burned at thine, so went
Thy spell through him, and left his straight neck bent
And round his heart one strangling golden hair.”

Their leader in a different dialect stated
A war was on for which he was to blame,
And he must help them.”
