    This was a good enough dinner, to be sure; but it was not a dinner to ask a man to.

    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....
    Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
