Day Game

Famous quotes containing the words day and/or game:

    What precisely is it
    About the time of day it is, the weather, that causes people to note it painstakingly in their diaries
    For them to read who shall come after?
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    In the game of “Whist for two,” usually called “Correspondence,” the lady plays what card she likes: the gentleman simply follows suit. If she leads with “Queen of Diamonds,” however, he may, if he likes, offer the “Ace of Hearts”: and, if she plays “Queen of Hearts,” and he happens to have no Heart left, he usually plays “Knave of Clubs.”
    Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)
