Oral Hearing

Famous quotes containing the words oral and/or hearing:

“We have seen over and over that white male historians in general have tended to dismiss any history they didn’t themselves write, on the grounds that it is unserious, unscholarly, a fad, too “political,” “merely” oral and thus unreliable.”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)

“To-night she will spread her brown hair on his pillow,
But I shall be hearing the harsh cries of wild fowl.”
—Patrick MacDonogh (1902–1961)
