Where is the phase "but they forgot and said "we are the greatest
people" and fell".  We are unsure if this is the absolute correct
wording.  Also no sure if this is a song, quote, poem, book, etc. Can
you find?

Do you think that this phrase was widely known in the 1950s?

In what year would you say that you heard or read this phrase?

In what area did you go to high school?  (Perhaps the phrase was said
by a local author or about a local event.)

Anything you can recall relating to the phrase might be helpful.

I have spoken to persons who went to high school in the fifties and no
one remembers those terms. Could they have been locally known in some
specific area of the country?

Phrase remembered from the 1955.  Attended Stephen Lee High School in
Asheville, North Carolina.  Thinks it may refer to a civilization or
race or tribe.

Sounds like a line about Atlantis.
