France, eldest daughter of the church (Michelet, Histoire de France, [1870?], vol. 1)
Text: "After this I saw in the night visions, and behold a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, and strong exceedingly; and it had great iron teeth: it devoured and brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with the feet of it: and it was diverse from all the beasts that were before it; and it had ten horns. I considered the horns, and, behold, there came up among them another little horn, before whom there were three of the first horns plucked up by the roots: and, behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of man, and a mouth speaking great things." Daniel 7:7,8
Quote:
Ce n’est pas sans raison que les papes ont appelé la France la fille aînée de l’Église. [...]
