Brimstone Angels

Famous quotes containing the words brimstone and/or angels:

    To awake your dormouse valor, to put fire in your heart, and brimstone in your liver.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    But as these angels, the only halted ones
    among the many who passed and repassed,
    trod air as swimmers tread water, each gazing
    on the angelic wings of the other,
    the intelligence proper to great angels flew into their wings,
    the intelligence called intellectual love....
