Famous quotes containing the words summer, games and/or held:

And through the spring on summer call,
And when abounding hedges ring
Declare that winters best of all;
And after that theres nothing good
Because the spring-time has not come....”

“In 1600 the specialization of games and pastimes did not extend beyond infancy; after the age of three or four it decreased and disappeared. From then on the child played the same games as the adult, either with other children or with adults. . . . Conversely, adults used to play games which today only children play.”
—Philippe Ariés (20th century)
“Master and Doctor are my titles;
For ten years now, without repose,
Ive held my erudite recitals
And led my pupils by the nose.”
