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)
