Grass Court Championships

Famous quotes containing the words grass and/or court:

    “It had been cold since December. Snow fell, first,
    At New Year and, from then until April, lay
    On everything. Now it had melted, leaving
    The gray grass like a pallet, closely pressed;
    And dirt. The wind blew in the empty place.”
    —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    “At court I met it, in clothes brave enough
    To be a courtier, and looks grave enough
    To seem a statesman.”
    —Ben Jonson (1572–1637)
