they look no more backward; and the hand may be a little child's.

entertain "angels unawares.

portentous of all seeds. Mustard seeds and angels have this in common.
They are little epiphanies of the divine amidst the ordinary.

and rest.

For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels,
