Blue/sports

Famous quotes containing the words blue and/or sports:

“The blue and the gray. Let us march together beneath the star- spangled banner.”
—Laurence Stallings (1894–1968)

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Thy sports are fled and all thy charms withdrawn;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