Angel Guardians In The Air And is there care in heaven? And is there love? In heavenly spirits to the creatures base, that may compassion of their evils move? There is; else much more wretched were the case of men than beasts. But O! The exceeding grace of highest God that loves His creatures so, and all His works with mercy does embrace, that blessed angels He sends to and fro to serve wicked man, to serve His wicked foe! How oft do they their silver bowers leave to come to succor us that succor want? How oft do they with golden pinions cleave the flitting skies, like flying pursuivant, against foul fiends to aid us militant? They for us fight, they watch and duly ward, and their bright squadrons round about us plant; and all for love, and nothing for reward: O why should heavenly God to men have such regard? Sir Edmund Spenser, “The Faerie Queene,” Book 2, Canto 8, Stanzas 1 & 2 – 1596 (Farewell, noble friend and sweet companion - I shall not see your like again.)
