Heavenly Thoughts 4
 |
|
Unless you can love, as the angels may,
With the breadth of heaven betwixt you;
Unless you can dream that his faith is fast,
Through behoving and unbeloving;
Unless you can die when the dream is past--
Oh, never call it loving!
~Robert Browning~ |
|
The angels keep their ancient places;
Turn but a stone, and start a wing!
It's you, it's your estranged faces,
That miss the many-splendored thing.
~Francis Thompson~

"A fool without fear is sometimes
wiser than an angel with fear."
~Lady Nancy Astor~
|
Four angels to my bed.
Four angels round my head,
One to watch, and one to pray,
And two to bear my soul away.
~Thomas Ady~

Angels exist through the eyes
of faith, and faith is perception.
Only if you can perceive it
can you experience it.
~Reverend John Westerhoff~
|
|
Think, in mounting higher,
The angels would press on us, and aspire
To drop some golden orb of perfect song
Into our deep, dear silence.
~Elizabeth Barrett Browning~

There is joy in the presence of the angels.
Luke 15:10

"Though in the order of nature
angels rank above men,
yet, by scale of justice,
good men are of greater value
than bad angels."
~Saint Augustine~

Angels are pure thoughts
from God, winged
with Truth and Love.
~Mary Baker Eddy~
|
If we saw an angel clearly
we should die of pleasure
~Brigett of Sweden~
|
|
|
The Angels were all singing out of tune,
And hoarse with having little else to do,
Excepting to wind up the sun and moon
Or curb a runaway young star or two.
~ George Gordon, Lord Byron~
