Angels. We sense them. We encounter them. We invent them. We
imagine them. But what do we require of them?
They must mediate earth and heaven. They must direct us
toward the good, because they know the good or because they understand evil.
They must represent to us the texture of heaven and the temporality of earth,
the incorruptible and the corruptible simultaneously.
They must assure us that we can one day fly, defying the
gravity of our own human failures.
