II, canto VIII, st. 2) The accusing spirit, which flew up to heaven's chancery with the oath, blushed as he gave it in; and the recording angel, as he wrote it down, dropped a tear upon the word and blotted it out forever. - Laurence Sterne Around our pillows golden ladders rise, And up and down the skies, With winged sandals shod, The angels come, and go, the Messengers of God! Nor, though they fade from us, do they depart-- It is the childly heart We walk as heretofore, Adown their shining ranks, but see them nevermore. - Richard Henry Stoddard, Hymn to the Beautiful (st. 3) Sweet souls around us watch us still, Press nearer to our side; Into our thoughts, into our prayers, With gentle helpings glide. - Harriet Elizabeth Beecher Stowe, The Other World I have no angels left Now, Sweet, to pray to: Where you have made your shrine They are away to. They have struck Heaven's tent, And gone to cover you: Whereso you keep your state Heaven is pitched over you. - Francis Thompson, A Carrier Song (st. 4) Angels boast ethereal vigor, and are formed from seeds of heavenly birth. - Virgil or Vergil (Publius Virgilius Maro Vergil) For all we know Of what the Blessed do above Is, that they sing, and that they love. - Edmund Waller, While I Listen to Thy Voice (st. 2), a song, quoted by Wordsworth What know we of the Blest above But that they sing, and that they love? - William Wordsworth, Scene on the Lake of Brienz, quoted from Waller An angel's arm can't snatch me from the grave; legions of angels can't confine me there. - Edward Young Displaying page 2 of 2 for this topic: << Prev 1 [2]
