'Throughout the ages the presence, seen or unseen, of winged beings, hovering between the human and divine worlds has been felt by men and women. In all the great religions, they are the mediators, the protectors, or if necessary the punishers...And for artists and poets of all ages, Angels have been both an ideal of ethereal Beauty and an almost terrifying vision of ultimate Truth.'
