London Games

Famous quotes containing the words london and/or games:

    Our haughty life is crowned with darkness,
    Like London with its own black wreath,
    William Wordsworth (1770–1850)

    In 1600 the specialization of games and pastimes did not extend beyond infancy; after the age of three or four it decreased and disappeared. From then on the child played the same games as the adult, either with other children or with adults. . . . Conversely, adults used to play games which today only children play.
    Philippe Ariés (20th century)
