Righteous Babe

Famous quotes containing the words righteous and/or babe:

    Give me this day a faith not personal
    As follows: The American people fully armed
    With assurance policies, righteous and harmed,
    Battle the world of which they’re not at all.
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)

    There was the murdered corpse, in covert laid,
    And violent death in thousand shapes displayed;
    The city to the soldier’s rage resigned;
    Successless wars, and poverty behind;
    Ships burnt in fight, or forced on rocky shores,
    And the rash hunter strangled by the boars;
    The newborn babe by nurses overlaid;
    And the cook caught within the raging fire he made.
    Geoffrey Chaucer (1340?–1400)
