Famous quotes containing the words italian and/or descent:
“Their martyred blood and ashes sow
O’er all the Italian fields where still doth sway
The triple tyrant; that from these may grow
A hundredfold, who, having learnt thy way,
Early may fly the Babylonian woe.”

“And every stone shall cry,
In praises of the child
By whose descent among us
The worlds are reconciled.”
