From the Bhagavad-Gita

In battle, in forests, at the precipice in the mountains
On the dark great sea, in the midst of javelins and arrows,
In sleep, in confusion, in the depths of shame,
The good deeds a man has done before defend him.

Translated from the Sanskrit by J. Robert Oppenheimer

From "American Prometheus" by Kai Bird and Martin J. Sherwin
