Famous quotes containing the words true and/or histories:
“It is true that the rivers went nosing like swine,
Tugging at banks, until they seemed
Bland belly-sounds in somnolent troughs,
That the air was heavy with the breath of these swine,
The breath of turgid summer, and
Heavy with thunder’s rattapallax....”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
“As soon as histories are properly told there is no more need of romances.”
—Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
