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.”

“It was my thirtieth year to heaven
Woke to my hearing from harbor and neighbor wood”
