Famous quotes containing the words cricket, world and/or cup:
“All cries are thin and terse;
The field has droned the summer’s final mass;
A cricket like a dwindled hearse
Crawls from the dry grass.”
—Richard Wilbur (b. 1921)
“Without, or with, offence to friends or foes,
I sketch your world exactly as it goes.”
