Famous quotes containing the word babe:
“I have given suck, and know
How tender tis to love the babe that milks me;
I would, while it was smiling in my face,
Have plucked my nipple from his boneless gums
And dashed the brains out, had I so sworn
As you have done to this.”
—William Shakespeare (15641616)

A black cloud full of storms too hot for keeping,
A sword beneath his mothers heart yet never
Woman bewept her babe as this is weeping.”
—John Crowe Ransom (18881974)

An a its folk are lang syne deid,
On coontless stars the Babe maun cry
An the Crucified maun bleed.”
