I'm familiar with the imagery of it. Angels are pervasive in the culture: statues in the parks, perched on top of Christmas trees. Little girls in white dresses: "and lo the Angel came to Mary and fortold unto her the birth of a boy" or whatever. Thank God divine conception seems to no longer be the fad.

[His eyes may be a little too wide but fortunately for Byerly he's not privy to the vivid reimagining of the nativity story that suddenly flashes past Prior's eyes.]

Though I will concede never to have pictured any quite like the one I met.
