A quotation by Twain, Mark

History never repeats itself, but the Kaleidoscopic combinations of the pictured present often seem to be constructed of the broken fragments of antique legends.

Mark Twain (1835-1910) American writer [pseud. of Samuel Clemens]

The Gilded Age: A Tale of To-Day, ch. 47 (1874) [with Charles Dudley Warner]
