Blood Angels Omnibus

Famous quotes containing the words blood, angels and/or omnibus:

    “The poet sings how the blood flows in his veins. He performs his functions, and is so well that he needs such stimulus to sing only as plants put forth leaves and blossoms.... His song is a vital function like breathing, and an integral result like weight.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “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)

    “An omnibus across the bridge
    Crawls like a yellow butterfly,
    And, here and there, a passer-by
    Shows like a little restless midge.”
    —Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
