Blue/sports

Famous quotes containing the words blue and/or sports:

“My Father, it is surely a blue place
And straight. Right. Regular.”
—Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)

“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Thy sports are fled and all thy charms withdrawn;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)
