Once in awhile you have a thought, and you rhyme it.

[T]eaching has been for me an education (Lord knows what it has been for my students).

Religion and science both profess peace (and the sincerity of the professors is not being doubted), but each always turns out to have a dominant part in any war that is going or contemplated.

History is where tensions were.

Write what you know. That should leave you with a lot of free time.

It may be said that poems are in one way like icebergs: only about a third of their bulk appears above the surface of the page.

A chronicle is very different from history proper.
