A Poet's Muse... Angels...


Reputation is what men and women think of us...Character is what God and the angels know of us...Thomas Paine {An Innocent Gift...To My TRUTH...:)...}...
 
 

An Offering

Warrior Angel
And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon... and the dragon fought and his angels...Revelation 12:7

 
 

Love
We love because he first loved us...Bible John 1 4:18

 
 

The Red Cross (allegory of Flanders war graves)
Since God often sends us inspirations by means of His angels...we should frequently return our aspirations to him by means of the same messengers...St. Francis De Sales

 
 

Love and the Maiden
An angel doesn't have to be physical... to touch you...

 
 

Immortality
An angel is an intelligent essence... always in motion... It has free will...is incorporeal.. serves God.. and has been bestowed with immortality... Only the Creator understands its true nature...John of Damascus

 
 

Winged Figure
To love for the sake of being loved is human..but to love for the sake of loving is angelic... Alphonse Marie de Lamartine

 
 

The Guardian of Paradise

The Annunciation
And the angel answering said unto her...I am Gabriel...that stand in the presence of God... and I was sent to speak unto thee... and to bring thee these good tidings...

 
 

An Angel Piping to the Souls in Hell
The soul at its highest is found like God..but an angel gives a closer idea of Him...That is all an angel is..an idea of God...Meister Eckhart

 
 

The Awakening
Angels are intelligent reflections of light..that original light which has no beginning...They can illuminate...They do not need tongues or ears... for they can communicate without speech... in thought...John of Damascus

 
 

The Recording Angels
Angels appreciate things about you that you thought...and no one else ever noticed...

 
 

The Guardian
For every force charged by God... may He be exalted...with some business is an angel put in charge of that thing... Maimonides (Moses Ben Maimon

 
 

An Angel holding the sun
I am the Angel of the Sun Whose flaming wheels began to run When God 's almighty breath Said to the darkness and the Night..Let there be light! and there was light...Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

 
 

An Angel
"Make friends with the angels,who though invisible are always with you Often invoke them, constantly praise them, and make good use of their help and assistance in all your temporal and spiritual affairs."...St. Francis De Sales

 
 

A Musical Angel
The angels are so enamored of the language that is spoken in heaven that they will not distort their lips with the hissing and unmusical dialects of men,but speak their own, whether their be any who understand it or not. ~Ralph Waldo Emerson

 
 

L'Innocence
Angels descending, bring from above, Echoes of mercy, whispers of love.~Fanny J. Crosby

 
 

Angels of Creation
"[Angels] guide us to become spiritual people for the pleasure of it? because the spiritual life itself has a great deal of beauty and real satisfaction... even pleasure. And this is what the soul needs..."Thomas Moore

 
 

The Sense of Sight
An angel can illume the thought and mind of man by strengthening the power of vision...and by bringing within his reach some truth which the angel itself contemplates... St. Thomas Aquinas...The Bliss of the Way

 
 

Angels
It came upon the midnight clear..That glorious song of old...From angels bending near the earth To touch their harps of gold.. "Peace on earth..good will to men From Heaven's all ..gracious King"..The world in solemn stillness lay To hear the angels sing...Edmund Hamilton Sears "The Angels' Song"

 
 

Freedom

Love the Pedlar
"And the angel said- 'I have learned that every man lives not through care of himself...but by love'..." - Leo Tolstoy
