2. Of Angels, Names and Pins
Would it bother you if you did not know how many angels can dance on the head of a pin.
Do angels dance to the rhythm of today’s raucous beat or do they do it cheek-to cheek?
Is the count made when angels are standing on one foot or on two?
If the angels use their wings for balance, is it cheating.
Do angels really enjoy dancing or standing on the heads of pins.
Would it bother you if you did not know how many angels can dance on the head of a pin.
One Angel - since an angel is incorporeal, it would entirely fill the pin. The pin would need to be animated by one angelic substance excluding all others.
None - because angels have no spatial position.
As many as they please - because ‘on’ can only mean ‘attending to’ and one attention does not exclude others. An angel is in a place, not as a body is said to be in a place but by the application of its power to that place.
