Fables

• I remembered the ancient fables, in which human beings are described as dissolving away through weeping into ever-gushing fountains. 玛丽·雪莱. 最后一个人.
• They had their undercurrent of fables and superstitions, their phases of fear and abjection and sacrificial fury. 赫伯特·乔治·威尔斯. 世界史纲.
• The fables we meet with in poems and romances put this entirely out of the question. 戴维·休谟. 人性论.
