Whistle/history

Famous quotes containing the words whistle and/or history:

    All we who prefer to live
    Have a little whistle we give,
    And flash, at the least alarm
    We dive down under the farm.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    I cannot be much pleased without an appearance of truth; at least of possibility—I wish the history to be natural though the sentiments are refined; and the characters to be probable, though their behaviour is excelling.
    Frances Burney (1752–1840)
