Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The fallen angels that will be discussed in the following passages are Satan, Beelzebub, Moloch, Chemos, Baal, Astarte, Thammuz, Dagon, Rimmon, Osiris, Isis and Belial. Satan is known in every culture; he is even worshiped by people through his followers.

Detailed explanation-2: -They visit the silent nests of birds, caves of beasts and protect them all. They charm into sleep those who weep. But they are not mighty herculean angels. If they find some ferocious animals like the wolves or tigers howling for their prey, they stand apart and weep in sympathy for the innocent prey.

Detailed explanation-3: -My Review of Guardian Angel: A Book of Poems Whilst I preferred Laura Fitton’s poetry in free verse rather than rhyme, the regular rhyme scheme fits perfectly the poems where it is used, because it maintains a regularity and control that we need when dealing with the themes Laura Fitton explores.

Detailed explanation-4: -’The Angel’ by William Blake presents a dream in which a speaker as a “maiden Queen” was guarded by an angel. He left the speaker in distress and reappeared when she grew old. Blake’s poem describes a dream that the speaker dreamt. In the dream, she was a maiden Queen and her guardian angel protected her all day long.
