In the current Harper's no less a writer than Lewis Lapham references the quote "usually attributed to Mark Twain that although history doesn't repeat itself, it rhymes." At least he qualifies his use of this truism, but that still implies that it could be authentic, and I find nothing that sources this quote to Twain before 1995. Has anyone sourced it to, oh... say, before April, 1910? Befuzzled, and with fantods, Kevin Mac Donnell Austin TX
