Dont forget the Angels

Just some old quotes I found in one of my old notebooks.

In this dim world of clouding cares,
we rarely know, till wilder'd eyes 
see white wings lessening up
the skies, the angels with us 
unaware.  
(Gerald Massey)
(1828-1907)

He shall give 
his angels charge
over thee, to keep
thee in all thy ways.
Psalm 91:11

I have seen angels by the sick one's pillow;
Theirs was the soft tone and the soundless tread,
where smitten hearts were drooping like the willow,
they stood between the living and the dead. (Unknown)

Beside each man who's born on earth a guardian angel
takes his stand, to guide him through life's mysteries. 
(Menander of Athens)Greek poet and play writer.(C.343-291.B.C) 

Four angels to my bed,
four angels round my head,
one to watch and one to pray
and two to rear my soul away.
(Thomas Ady) 
17th century English writer

when tempted, evoke your 
angel, he is more eager 
to help you than you are to 
be helped! Ignore the devil, 
and not be afraid of him.
He trembles and flees at your
 guardian angels sight.
(St.John Basco 1845-1888)

There are angels, that attend unseen each one of us,
and in great books record our good and evil deeds.
he who writes down the good ones, after every action, closes his volume, and ascends with it to god, the other keeps his dreadful day, which doing, the record of action fades away, and leaves 
line of white across the page.
(Henry W. Longfellow American poet 1807-1882) 

Angels.... with beautiful wings of silk & crowns of baby rosebuds... all live together in a castle...and when the angels want to go some place they just whistle and a cloud floats to the castle door and picks them up and the angels ride through the sky, riding the cloud like a magic carpet under the moon and through the stars until they're right above us. That's how they can look down and see if were alright, and sometimes even send us messages.
(The Little Princess) 



Stone walls do not a prison make
nor iron bars a cage;
Minds inncocent and quiet take 
that for a heritage; If I have 
Freedom in my love, and in soul
am free, angels alone that soar above 
enjoy such liberty.
(Richard Lovelace)
(1618-1657)English poet. 

Self is the only prison that can ever find the soul;
love is the only angel who can bid gates unroll;
and when he comes to call thee arise and follow fast;
its way may lie though darkness, but leader to light at last.
(Henry Van Dyke 1822-1891 writer)

There is music even in the beauty 
and the silent note which cupid strikes 
far sweeter than the sound of an instrument.
(Thomas Browne)

I want to be an angel
and with the angels stand,
a crown upon my forehand 
a harp within my hand. 
(Vrania Bailey 1820-1882)

Let but the voice 
engender the string
and angels will come
while thou dost sing.
(Robert Herrick 1591-1674)  

Stay in the light 
and on the path
for the in-between 
seek to devour your soul
and only stepping forward
can keep them at bay. 
(Lily Kann)
