Scratch/sports

Famous quotes containing the words scratch and/or sports:

    And now I even have to scratch my back myself.
    Lorenz Hart (1895–1943)

    Sweet smiling village, loveliest of the lawn,
    Thy sports are fled and all thy charms withdrawn;
    Amidst thy bowers the tyrant’s hand is seen,
    And desolation saddens all thy green;
    One only master grasps the whole domain,
    And half a tillage stints thy smiling plain;
    Oliver Goldsmith (1730?–1774)
