Sweet Angel

Famous quotes containing the words sweet and/or angel:

    It is thyself, mine own self’s better part:
    Mine eye’s clear eye, my dear heart’s dearer heart,
    My food, my fortune, and my sweet hope’s aim,
    My sole earth’s heaven, and my heaven’s claim.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    I askèd a thief to steal me a peach
    He turned up his eyes
    I ask’d a lithe lady to lie her down
    Holy & meek she cries—

    As soon as I went
    An angel came.
    He wink’d at the thief
    And smild at the dame—

    And without one word said
    Had a peach from the tree
    And still as a maid
    Enjoy’d the lady.
    William Blake (1757–1827)
