Famous quotes containing the words winter, closing and/or ceremony:

    “I walked abroad in a snowy day;
    I asked the soft snow with me to play;
    She played and she melted in all her prime,
    And the winter called it a dreadful crime.”
    —William Blake (1757–1827)

    “It is closing time in the gardens of the West and from now on an artist will be judged only by the resonance of his solitude or the quality of his despair.”
    —Cyril Connolly (1903–1974)

    “We want beans, not goals.”
    —Mexican steelworkers’ banner at opening ceremony of 1986 World Cup soccer championship.
