I need you, Eric.

Eric Stanton:
Right out of a book, again.

June Mills:
Yes, out of a book: "We were born to tread the earth as angels, to seek out heaven this side of the sky. But they who race above shall stumble in the dark, and fall from grace."

Eric Stanton:
Go on. Sounds good.

June Mills:
"Then love alone can make the fallen angel rise. For only two together can enter Paradise."

Also, the word in the second sentence of the poem is "alone" and not "above" - that's the whole point of the verse - that we are meant to be together in life. Don't know how the person got "above" instead of "alone" - it makes no sense that way. Maybe it was a typo? But someone should correct it. more »

I, too, was looking for this verse, and wondering what book it supposedly came from - it sounded authentic to me. But I see that others who encountered this verse in the movie "Fallen Angel" have also tried to find the source and have been unsuccessful. So I guess maybe it was written just for the scene of the movie? Go figure. more »
