Sweet Angel

Famous quotes containing the words sweet and/or angel:

    And thus they sang their mysterious duo, sang of their nameless hope, their death-in-love, their union unending, lost forever in the embrace of night’s magic kingdom. O sweet night, everlasting night of love! Land of blessedness whose frontiers are infinite!
    Thomas Mann (1875–1955)

    Yet I am the necessary angel of earth,
    Since, in my sight, you see the earth again,
    Cleared of its stiff and stubborn, man-locked set,
    And, in my hearing, you hear its tragic drone
    Rise liquidly in liquid lingerings....
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
