“Heaven has its business and earth has its business: those are two separate things. Heaven, that's the angels' pasture; they are happy; they don't have to fret about food and drink. And you can be sure that they have black angels to do the heavy work like laundering the clouds or sweeping the rain and cleaning the sun after a storm, while the white angels sing like nightingales all day long or blow in those little trumpets like they show in the pictures we see in church.” LittlesLongTwoShowsEarthHeavenBlackChurchWhiteSunDrinkAngelRainPrejudiceCloudsBlowHeavyStormCleaningTrumpetsSweepingPasturesNightingalesFood And Drink Author:Jacques Roumain
