Alternate Histories

Famous quotes containing the words alternate and/or histories:

“It might become a wheel spoked red and white
In alternate stripes converging at a point
Of flame on the line, with a second wheel below,
Just rising, accompanying, arranged to cross,
Through weltering illuminations, humps
Of billows, downward, toward the drift-fire shore.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

“As soon as histories are properly told there is no more need of romances.”
—Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
