Famous quotes containing the words nations and/or arms:
“For nations vague as weed,
For nomads among stones,
Small-statured cross-faced tribes
And cobble-close families
In mill-towns on dark mornings
Life is slow dying.”

“And the Pope has cast his arms abroad for agony and loss,
And called the kings of Christendom for swords about the Cross,”
