“Sometimes, the Angel [of Music] leans over the cradle... and that is how there are little prodigies who play the fiddle at six better than men of fifty, which, you must admit is very wonderful. Sometimes, the Angel comes much later, because the children are naughty and won't learn their lessons or practice their scales. And sometimes, he does not come at all, because the children have a wicked heart or a bad conscience.” MenHeartChildrenLittlesDoeSometimesPlayPracticeWonderfulLessonsSixConscienceAngelScalesFiftyWickedCradleNaughtyFiddleProdigies Author:Gaston Leroux
“Dear Angel Juan, You used to guard my sleep like a panther biting back my pain with the edge of your teeth. You carried me into the dark dream jungle, loping past the hungry vines, crossing the shiny fish-scale river. We left my tears behind in a chiming silver pool. We left my sorrow in the muddy hollows. When I woke up you were next to me, damp and matted, your eyes hazy, trying to remember the way I clung to you, how far down we went. Was the journey too far, Angel Juan? Did we go too far?” WayTryingDreamEyePainPastRememberUsedNextLeftDarkSleepBehindsJourneyTearsSorrowAngelRiversDearEdgesFishesScalesHungryTeethSilverPoolJungleCrossingsVinesMuddyBitingDampJuanPanthersHazyDark Dreams Book:Beautiful Boys: Missing Angel Juan and Baby Be-Bop Source: Beautiful Boys: Missing Angel Juan and Baby Be-Bop
“Occasionally, there are battles in the sky. One likes to imagine the angels are always triumphant. One does not like to think of the ancient and terrible scales balancing the infernal and divine as wobbling back and forth. Tilting freely, to and fro. One does not like to think that sometimes it is the angel that falls.” ThinkingDoeSometimesFallImagineSkyDivineTerribleBattleAngelAncientScalesLikesBack And ForthTriumphant Author:Holly Black
“The wonders of the music of the future will be of a higher & wider scale and will introduce many sounds that the human ear is now incapable of hearing. Among these new sounds will be the glorious music of angelic chorales. As men hear these they will cease to consider Angels as figments of their imagination.” MenHumansInspirationSoundImaginationWonderHigherAngelEarsHearingScalesCeaseContemplationGloriousIntroducingIncapableAngelicFigmentsChorale Author:Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
