Afternoon Games

Famous quotes containing the words afternoon and/or games:

    “The afternoon is visibly a source,
    Too wide, too irised, to be more than calm,
    Too much like thinking to be less than thought,
    Obscurest parent, obscurest patriarch,
    A daily majesty of meditation,
    That comes and goes in silences of its own.”
    —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    “At the age of twelve I was finding the world too small: it appeared to me like a dull, trim back garden, in which only trivial games could be played.”
    —Elizabeth Bowen (1899–1973)
