Kathryn Lindskoog Quotes
In Scripture the visitation of an angel is always alarming; it has to begin by saying 'Fear not.' The Victorian angel looks as if it were going to say, 'There, there.' The literary symbols are more dangerous than sculptures and pictures because they are not so easily recognized as symbolical. Those of Dante are best. Before his angels we sink in awe.
