What's that? Non angli sed Angeli

Non angli sed Angeli from Mere Comments.

Back in Rome, Pope Gregory one day sees a band of captives led to the block for sale. They are tall and fair-skinned and, what strikes Gregory's eye most particularly, blond. Moved with pity and curiosity he asks who they are and where they have come from. "They are Angles," comes the reply. "Not Angles but angels," says Gregory.
