“Rhymes, meters, stanza forms, etc., are like servants. If the master is fair enough to win their affection and firm enough to command their respect, the result is an orderly happy household. If he is too tyrannical, they give notice; if he lacks authority, they become slovenly, impertinent, drunk and dishonest.”
W. H. Auden
“History doesn't repeat itself - at best it sometimes rhymes”
Mark Twain
“What can be said in New Year rhymes,That's not been said a thousand times?The new years come, the old years go,We know we dream, we dream we know.We rise up laughing with the light,We lie down weeping with the night.We hug the world until it stings,We curse it then and sigh for wings.We live, we love, we woo, we wed,We wreathe our prides, we sheet our dead.We laugh, we weep, we hope, we fear,And that's the burden of a year.”
Ella Wheeler Wilcox
“I like Fisher Price music, nursery rhymes, and the alphabet song.”
Tre Cool
“History doesn't repeat itself, but it rhymes.”
Will Rogers
“No more rhymes now - I mean it ! Anybody want a peanut.”
The Princess Bride
“Hello lamp post, what ya knowin'? I come to watch your flowers growin'. Ain't you got no rhymes for me? do do do do... feelin' groovy.”
Paul Simon
