Wrestling at The 1896 Summer Olympics - Mens Greco-roman

Famous quotes containing the words wrestling, summer and/or mens:

    There are people who think that wrestling is an ignoble sport. Wrestling is not sport, it is a spectacle, and it is no more ignoble to attend a wrestled performance of suffering than a performance of the sorrows of Arnolphe or Andromaque.
    Roland Barthes (1915–1980)

    Over the threshold
    Nothing like death stepped, nothing like death paused,
    Nothing like death has such hair, arms so raised.
    Why are your feet bare? Was not death to come?
    Why is he not here? What summer have you broken from?
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    Is it that mens frayle eyes, which gaze too bold,
    She may entangle in that golden snare:
    Edmund Spenser (1552?–1599)
