Sommaren m hava varit hurudan som helst, regnig, mulen av dimma eller av solrok, vilken dygnet runt undanskymt solen, s kommer dock en tid vid senhostens borjan, d sommaren p nytt visar sig. Det ar vid S:ta Birgittas helg, den sjunde oktober. Hos oss, i Sverige, kallas denna eftersommar till foljd darutav for Brittsommar. I Frankrike benamnes den le second ete; p andra sidan Atlanten indiansommar. Efter lnga, tunga, dimmiga, grkalla hostdagar kommer den d, stark, rik och verklig, denna sommar; kommer med betagande varme, med skimmer i luften, med glod, guld och blod i fargerna. Loven, som om vren flata samman i en enda, luftig sloja av leende, solvavt gront, skifta i maktiga, lidelsefulla farger. Varje blad har sin historia. Stormen, det hrda regnet, den brannade solen ha stamplat dem, och de hava ej langre sommarfarg, flyta ej langre samman i leende, solvavt gront.

Il pranzo volgeva al suo termine, in mezzo alla gioia e alle conversazioni sempre piu animate e festose. I convitati, per la maggior parte studenti dellUniversita, futuri medici e futuri avvocati, ma piu medici che avvocati, avevano naturalmente un buon umore comunicativo, una giocondita espansiva.Il professor Pisani, un luminare della scienza, soleva riunire cosi tutti gli anni gli amici piu intimi e i migliori suoi allievi alla fine delle vacanze, sul morir dellautunno, nella sua villa, poco discosta dal Borgo di S. Patrizio nei dintorni di Pavia.

I TJUGUTVAN fanns det endast stora lagenheter, en i var vning, dar det uteslutande bodde aldre barnlosa familjer.Femte vningen, vilken for ngra r sedan blivit tillbyggd, bestod dock av tvenne, den ena p tv, den andra p fyra rum och kok. Daruppe var det ocks som de fem unga damer bodde, vilka runtom i kvarteret gick under benamningen flickorna i tjugutvan.Flickorna i tjugutvan sgo bra ut eller kanske rattare sagt, de agde detta obeskrivliga ngot, som vacker ett nyfiket intresse hos froken i mjolkboden, liksom hos herrarna i speceriaffaren, hos skomakaregubben likaval som hos slaktarbutikens expediter. Och and kande ingen av dessa personligen till ngon av dem. Inte mera an vad de kande sin ovriga kundkrets. Intresset for flickorna i tjugutvan harledde sig uteslutande av deras utseende och satt att rora sig samt av den nimbus av romantik, som alltid ungdom for med sig.

Vid en diskussion om Vra barns nojeslasning, som jag for en del r sen ofvervar, fallde en kand talare, en s. k. frifrasare yttranden i frgan, som gingo ut p att namnda art af litteratur nu narmast tyckes vara afsedd for endast den bildade klassens barn.

Nar dessa hjaltar och hjaltinnor sjalfva, eller genom adelmodiga upphojda anhoriga komma i kontakt med allmogens barn och barnen ur de djupa leden blir detta till en rorande handling. Hjaltar och hjaltinnor f nara nog helgonglorian ofver sig nar de i valgorenhets- eller forbattringssyfte agna sig t dessa tliga beskedliga sm vp, eller elaka illmariga lymlar till underklassbarn med hvilkas innerstas tankar och mening de, trots allt, st frammande och oforstende utan aning om att dessa foreml for barmhartighet och adel nedltenhet aro deras jamlikar i medfodd begfning, och i fantasiens mottaglighet for intryck af olika art.

This is a time travelers guide to the history of soccer, tracing its originsfrom a humble beginning to an established sport beloved worldwide. It is a story that spans five thousand years, from ancient Egypt to MesoAmerica, from the Greek Empire to Chinese Dynasties, and from the Roman Empire to medieval Britain.From the Middle Ages onwards, Britain and Ireland unfurl their lineage, from the lesser-known trapball and stoolball to the lamentably extinct camping and knappan. All forms find a voice in this book, as do hockey and hurling, baseball and bowling, tennis and golf. Primarily a narrative of British and Irish ball games, esteemed foreigners are welcomed: baggataway, knattleikur, soule, kolven, calcio. Many games come to life, revealing their motivations and their complex inner world. Still, soccer is firmly center stage. This is, after all, its picaresque journey. As the games sweep across history, the social, religious, and political contexts are threaded throughout, and this book is peppered with news snippets, anecdotes, comedy, and intrigue, which give the centuries life. Crammed with eccentric sports ephemera, untold tales, and unearthed acts, The Game That Would Be King is the most comprehensive work on the early history of ball games ever written.

Jack was proud of the bridge, for it was his own. The thought of building a bridge over the river had been his own original thought; the device of the bridge had been his own original device, and the money required for its erection had come solely out of his own pocket, advanced for the public good, with no hope of its return till after the lapse of many years, when the penny toll levied upon every crosser should have realised the outlay. The bridge might not be built upon very scientific principles, but in spite of many a laugh at Jacks expense, and many a prophecy from some wise passer-by, that it would last as many nights as days, it had already borne three years wear, and at least one good winter-flood before this particular night with which we have to do. But this nights flood was a different thing to that of two years back; indeed the country-folk had said, as they had crossed the bridge to market on Saturday morning, that never in their memory had the river risen so high. And though Jack wore a cheerful countenance as he took his toll, and assured each one that his bridge was good for sixty years, deep down in his heart there lurked a secret fear each night, as he lay down to sleep, that he might wake to find it had been carried away while he slept; but since market-day three days had gone by, and still the bridge hung bravely over the roaring stream.

Sotto la cappa del camino, chera come una mezza tramoggia enorme rovesciata, la vecchia Pentagora, quella sera, borbottava tra se piu del solito, mordicchiando le cocche del grosso fazzoletto nero, di lana, che teneva in capo, annodato sotto il mento.Come se le stipe e i tizzoni, scoppiettando, cigolando o levando fanfaluche, le parlassero, ella soleva tutto il giorno, li, aggrondata e ingrugnata, far lunghi discorsi col fuoco, e ogni tanto gestiva a scatti, con le mani secche, nere, dalle dita agilissime. Parlava continuamente cosi, tra se, fondendo le parole precipitose, quasi imitasse un ruzzolio di fusi.Le rare volte che si levava dal canto del fuoco e andava a ronzare come un moscone per casa, pareva saggirasse in un sogno smanioso, con gli occhi senza sguardo, le dita sempre irrequiete. Scopriva talvolta.... non si sapeva che cosa, nei muri, per terra, per aria: si arrestava incantata a mirare con gli occhi chiari, ilari, parlanti; la faccia cotta dal fuoco le si allargava in un sorriso di beatitudine, che destava una certa invidia mista di costernazione pure in coloro che la commiseravano.Che vedeva? Perche sorrideva cosi?
