    Climate of Egypt in winter is the reign of spring upon earth, & summer in the air, and tranquility in the heat.
    Herman Melville (1819–1891)

    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)
