Brewer's: Uriel

“Regent of the Sun,” and “sharpest-sighted spirit of all in heaven.” (Milton: Paradise Lost, iii. 690.) Longfellow, in the Golden Legend, makes Raphael the angel of the Sun, and Uriel the minister of Mars. (See Raphael.)

I am the minister of Mars. The strongest star among the stars. My songs of power prelude The march and battle of man's life. And for the suffering and the strife I give him fortitude.

The Miracle Ploy, iii.
