Zaire (now called the Democratic Republic of the Congo) competed at the 1984 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles, United States. It had been 16 years since the previous time that the nation was represented at the Olympic Games, as Congo Kinshasa at the 1968 Summer Olympics.
Famous quotes containing the word summer:
“The consolations of space are nameless things.
It was after the neurosis of winter. It was
In the genius of summer that they blew up
The statue of Jove among the boomy clouds.
It took all day to quieten the sky
And then to refill its emptiness again....”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
