"The angels fly because they take themselves lightly.
And if that must be true of the angels, how much more true of the Lord of the angels?"

“Chattering finch and water-fly
Are not merrier than I;
Here among the flowers I lie
Laughing everlastingly

No; I may not tell the best
Surely, friends I might have guessed
Death was but the good kings jest
It was hid so carefully.”
