    Albert Camus (1913–1960)

    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)
