Playing Piles

Famous quotes containing the words playing and/or piles:

    Oh, somewhere in this favored land the sun is shining bright,
    The band is playing somewhere, and somewhere hearts are light;
    And somewhere men are laughing, and somewhere children shout,
    But there is no joy in Mudville—Mighty Casey has struck
    out.
    Ernest Lawrence Thayer (1863–1940)

    Immortal glories in my mind revive,
    And in my soul a thousand passions strive,
    When Rome’s exalted beauties I descry
    Magnificent in piles of ruin lie.
    Joseph Addison (1672–1719)
