Corinth/history

Famous quotes containing the words corinth and/or history:

    “War wreaked on you his hideous ravishment;
    We, we alone, Nereids inviolate,
    Remain to weep, with the sea-birds to chant:
    Corinth is lost, Corinth is desolate.”
    —Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)

    “False history gets made all day, any day,
    the truth of the new is never on the news
    False history gets written every day
    ...
    the lesbian archaeologist watches herself
    sifting her own life out from the shards she’s piecing,
    asking the clay all questions but her own.”
    —Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
