  is taken by the sorry souls of those
  who lived without disgrace and without praise.
  They now commingle with the coward angels,
  the company of those who were not rebels
  nor faithful to their God, but stood apart.

  have cast them out, nor will deep Hell receive them -
  even the wicked cannot glory in them.

  Dante Alighieri

  Sorry, Taken, Angel
