Legions of angels can't confine me there.”

Context: Songs and minstrels.
And the hymns of angels,
Will raise from the graves,
They will entreat from the beginning.
They will entreat together publicly,
On so great a destiny.
Those whom the sea has destroyed
Will make a great shout,
At the time when cometh
He, that will separate them.
“You can't expect the fatted calf to share the enthusiasm of the angels over the prodigal's return.”
