Famous quotes containing the word play:

    Come play with me;
    Why should you run
    Through the shaking tree
    As though I’d a gun
    To strike you dead?
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    I get a little Verlaine
    for Patsy with drawings by Bonnard although I do
    think of Hesiod, trans. Richmond Lattimore or
    Brendan Behan’s new play or Le Balcon or Les Negres
    of Genet, but I don’t, I stick with Verlaine
    after practically going to sleep with quandariness
    Frank O’Hara (1926–1966)
