Angels

Famous quotes containing the word angels:

“Great is the art,
Great be the manners, of the bard.
He shall not his brain encumber
With the coil of rhythm and number;
But, leaving rule and pale forethought,
He shall aye climb
For his rhyme.
“Pass in, pass in,” the angels say,”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

““Christ, the Lord is ris’n to Day,”
Sons of Men and Angels say,
Raise your Joys and Triumphs high,
Sing ye Heav’ns, and Earth reply.”
—Charles Wesley (1707–1788)

“But man, proud man,
Dressed in a little brief authority,
Most ignorant of what he’s most assured,
His glassy essence, like an angry ape
Plays such fantastic tricks before high heaven
As makes the angels weep.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
