refuge
in
Medea by Euripides - (translated by: E.P. Coleridge)
- But enough! this language suits not thee as it does me; thou hast a city here, a father's house, some joy in life, and friends to share thy thoughts, but I am destitute, without a city, and therefore scorned by my husband, a captive I from a foreign shore, with no mother, brother, or kinsman in whom to find a new haven of refuge from this calamity.†
- MEDEA Mock on; thou hast a place of refuge; I am alone, an exile soon to be.†
*
- I have no country, home, or refuge left.†
- And for you, my sons, hath your father provided with all good heed a sure refuge, by God's grace; for ye, I trow, shall with your brothers share hereafter the foremost rank in this Corinthian realm.†
