 9Their wings were joined one to another; they turned not when they went; they went every one straight forward.
 10As for the likeness of their faces, they four had the face of a man, and the face of a lion, on the right side: and they four had the face of an ox on the left side; they four also had the face of an eagle.
 11Thus were their faces: and their wings were stretched upward; two wings of every one were joined one to another, and two covered their bodies.

(“Zechariah 1” by E. Dennett)
