Famous quotes related to plays:
“A great many quite good plays could be performed with rhythmic howls in the place of dialogue and lose almost nothing by the change.”
—Rebecca West (1892–1983)
“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)
“With sweet May dews my wings were wet,
And Phoebus fir’d my vocal rage;
He caught me in his silken net,
And shut me in his golden cage.
He loves to sit and hear me sing,
Then, laughing, sports and plays with me;
Then stretches out my golden wing,
And mocks my loss of liberty.”
—William Blake (1757–1827)
“The hare grows old as she plays in the sun
And gazes around her with eyes of brightness;
Before the swift things that she dreamed of were done
She limps along in an aged whiteness....”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“I bow’d not to thy image for succession,
Nor bound thy bow to shoot reformed kindness,
Thy plays of hope and fear were my confession,
The spectacles to my life was thy blindness;
But Cupid now farewell, I will go play me,
With thoughts that please me less and less betray me.”
—Fulke Greville (1554–1628)
