Incense/history

Famous quotes containing the words incense and/or history:

    Here the sausage and garlic booth
    Sent unholy incense skyward;
    There a quivering female-thing
    Gestured assignations, and lied
    To call it dancing;
    Anne Spencer (1882–1975)

    America is the only nation in history which miraculously has gone directly from barbarism to degeneration without the usual interval of civilization.
