Gordon Banks and Pelé

[Gordon Bank's death] encourages us to remember the afternoon when he and the greatest player of all time brought the best out of each other in the Mexican sunshine, two men from the working classes of different continents sharing a moment in which they played the game like angels, and in which Gordon Banks achieved immortality. Richard Williams ( The Guardian )

The night was black, rain fallin' down/ Looked for my baby, she's nowhere around (Jody Reynolds)

I am no bird; and no net ensnares me: I am a free human being with an independent will (Charlotte Brontë in Jane Eyre)

"Jane, be still; don't struggle so like a wild, frantic bird, that is rending its own plumage in its desperation." "I am no bird; and no net ensnares me; I am a free human being, with an independent will; which I now exert to leave you.” Charlotte Brontë ( Jane Eyre )
