Birmingham Hall Green

Famous quotes containing the words hall and/or green:

    In football they measure forty-yard sprints. Nobody runs forty yards in basketball. Maybe you run the ninety-four feet of the court; then you stop, not on a dime, but on Miss Liberty’s torch. In football you run over somebody’s face.
    —Donald Hall (b. 1928)

    Still green with bays each ancient altar stands
    Above the reach of sacrilegious hands,
    Alexander Pope (1688–1744)
