Rhyme/history

Famous quotes containing the words rhyme and/or history:

“I thought of rhyme alone,
For rhyme can beat a measure out of trouble
And make the daylight sweet once more....”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

“There is nothing truer than myth: history, in its attempt to “realize” myth, distorts it, stops halfway; when history claims to have “succeeded” this is nothing but humbug and mystification. Everything we dream is “realizable.” Reality does not have to be: it is simply what it is.”
—Eugène Ionesco (b. 1912)
