Tongues of angels...

It is a certain sound of joy without words...it is the expression of a mind poured forth in joy...A man rejoicing in his own exultation, after certain words which cannot be understood, bursteth forth into sounds of exultation without words, so that it seemeth that he...filled with excessive joy cannot express in words the subject of that joy.
-St. Augustine (354-430)
