Light Entertainment Performance

Famous quotes containing the words light and/or performance:

    But misery still delights to trace
    Its ‘semblance in another’s case.

    No voice divine the storm allay’d,
    No light propitious shone;
    When, snatch’d from all effectual aid,
    We perish’d, each alone:
    But I beneath a rougher sea,
    And whelm’d in deeper gulphs than he.
    William Cowper (1731–1800)

    Tennis is more than just a sport. It’s an art, like the ballet. Or like a performance in the theater. When I step on the court I feel like Anna Pavlova. Or like Adelina Patti. Or even like Sarah Bernhardt. I see the footlights in front of me. I hear the whisperings of the audience. I feel an icy shudder. Win or die! Now or never! It’s the crisis of my life.
    Bill Tilden (1893–1953)
