XI Played England

Famous quotes containing the words played and/or england:

    It has been played once more. I think you exist only
    To tease me into doing it, on your level, and then you aren’t there
    Or have adopted a different attitude. And the poem
    Has set me softly down beside you. The poem is you.
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    What a pity it is that we have no amusements in England but vice and religion!
    Sydney Smith (1771–1845)
