The baby figure of the giant mass
Of things to come.
A Babylonish dialect
Which learned pedants much affect.
Babylon,
Learned and wise, hath perished utterly,
Nor leaves her speech one word to aid the sigh
That would lament her.
A baby was sleeping,
Its mother was weeping,
For her husband was far on the wild-raging sea.
Where did you come from baby dear?
Out of the everywhere into the here.
A baby's feet, like sea-shells pink
Might tempt, should heaven see meet,
An angel's lips to kiss, we think,
A baby's feet.
The sweetest flowers in all the world--
A baby's hands.
Only a baby small,
Dropt from the skies;
Small, but how dear to us
God knoweth best.
Babylon in all its desolation is a sight not so awful as that of the human mind in ruins.
Note 1.Babylon in ruins is not so melancholy a spectacle (as a distracted person). Joseph Addison: Spectator, No. 421.
They tell me every day is there
Not more nor less than Sunday gay;
In shining robes and garments fair
The people walk upon their way.
One gazes there on castle walls
As grand as those of Babylon,
A bishop and two generals!
What joy to be in Carcassonne!
Ah! might I but see Carcassonne!
Babylon is fallen, is fallen.

A baby is born with a need to be loved and never outgrows it.
If you desire to drain to the dregs the fullest cup of scorn and hatred that a fellow human being can pour out for you, let a young mother hear you call dear baby "it."
Babies are necessary to grown-ups. A new baby is like the beginning of all thingsâwonder, hope, a dream of possibilities. In a world that is cutting down its trees to build highways, losing its earth to concrete... babies are almost the only remaining link with nature, with the natural world of living things from which we spring.
Those who say they "sleep like a baby" haven't got one.
When the first baby laughed for the first time, the laugh broke into a thousand pieces and they all went skipping about, and that was the beginning of fairies.
