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)

    What has history to do with me? Mine is the first and only world! I want to report how I find the world. What others have told me about the world is a very small and incidental part of my experience. I have to judge the world, to measure things.
    Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889–1951)
