Famous quotes containing the words hells and/or angels:
“This is the man who classified the bits
Of his friends’ hells into a pigeonhole—
He hung each disparate anguish on the spits
Parboiled and roasted in his own withering soul.”
—Allen Tate (1899–1979)
“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)
