Take then, for instance, one naughty child in the reality of his life. He is but six years old, slender and masculine, and not wronged by long hair, curls, or effeminate dress. His face is delicate and too often haggard with tears of penitence that Justice herself would be glad to spare him. Some beauty he has, and his mouth especially is so lovely as to seem not only angelic but itself an angel.
Consider the manner in which that brigand met his death." "But... but..." I stammered. And then, quite suddenly, I stopped short, and listened. "Hark, Fra Gervasio! Do you not hear it?" "Hear it? Hear what?" "The music the angelic melodies! And you can say that this place is a foul imposture; this holy image an impious fraud! And you a priest! Listen!
A friend of mine a most respectable man, and one, I may as well observe, of no slight rank used to say, 'Nowadays, it seems, if a hen wants a grain of corn she approaches it cunningly, watches anxiously for an opportunity of sidling up to it. But when I look at you, dear lady, I recognize in you a truly angelic nature. May I be allowed to kiss your snow-white hand?"

"I don't think he even looked at me." "That doesn't say much for his taste, Stella." "You don't understand. I mean, I have not explained myself properly. He was leaning on the arm of a friend; weak and worn and wasted, as I supposed, by some long and dreadful illness. There was an angelic sweetness in his face such patience! such resignation! For heaven's sake keep my secret.
"Just like a white-winged messenger of light," as Kate Meldrum observed in the hearing of Captain Dinks, "sent out from the angelic host above on some divine mission to suffering humanity below!" "Ah; that sounds very pretty, missy," said the captain; "but the albatross' mission happens to be fish; and I fancy that spoils the sentiment a bit!"
The poet was seated in his study when I entered; I thought then, as at our first meeting, that he was as striking a model of superb manhood as any painter could desire. His beautifully chiseled face, nobly patrician, was framed in long hair and flowing beard. Large, melting eyes; an angelic smile; and a voice of flutelike quality which was literally enchanting.

What was said of the angelic heaven is evidently to be understood, then, of the human heaven also which is called the church.
If Rosario with her angelic hand does not take me out of this hell of my conscience, I desire that you should come to take me out of it.
