Famous quotes containing the words football and/or summer:

    In this dream that dogs me I am part
    Of a silent crowd walking under a wall,
    Leaving a football match, perhaps, or a pit,
    All moving the same way.
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    Over the winter glaciers,
    I see the summer glow,
    And, through the wild-piled snowdrift,
    The warm rosebuds below.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
