Angel Tablet

Famous quotes containing the words angel and/or tablet:

    I’ve almost gained my heav’nly home; My spirit loudly sings;
    The holy ones behold they come, I hear the noise of wings.
    O come, angel band, Come and around me stand.
    O bear me away on your snowy wings, To my immortal home.
    T. Haskell, minister and hymn-writer. Published in Christian Harmony. “Angel Band,” l. 5-8.

    The eyes, opening and shutting like keyholes
    and never forgetting, recording by thousands,
    the skull with its brains like eels
    the tablet of the world
    the bones and their joints
    that build and break for any trick....
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
