...carry all the minute subdivisions of angelhood in its head. Consequently only a few kinds of angels were identifiable, and these were linked to basic Scriptural events. The only spirits who stood out, time and again, as individuals were three archangels: Michael, Gabriel and -to a lesser degree-Raphael...
...lostthe power to get high on ordinary grass. He was one of a group of artists who emerged from a backwater of painting, Germany, at the start of the 19th century. They inherited no secure historical position. Their diversity was extreme. Some left Germany for Rome and Raphael; others remained at home, seeking a continuity with the Gothic past; their images ran a gamut from Blakean vision to the tightest realism.

As her witnesses gave evidence against Raphael, Sylvie sat demurely hatless in maxiskirts. The trial ended last week when Raphael and Sylvie both agreed to drop their charges, and each signed a statement that neither had meant the other any harm. "Most of my friends," said Sylvie later, "were sorry I did not continue with the case. I wanted to, goodness knows. I still had enough new maxis to wear...
