Part II Veracious Tales of Various Sorts
“When fiction rises pleasing to the eye,
Men will believe, because they love the lie;
But truth herself, if clouded with a frown,
Must have some solemn proof to pass her down.”
Churchill
“’Tis strange—but true, for truth is always strange,
Stranger than fiction.”
Byron
“Variety’s the very spice of life.”
Cowper
