In my afternoon walk I would fain forget all my morning occupations and my obligations to society.
That afternoon my mother had brought me the roses. "Save them for my funeral," I'd said.
Such tenderness, those afternoons and evenings, saying blackberry, blackberry, blackberry.
Then blessings on thee, my afternoon torpor Thou makest a prince of a mental porpor.
Walking the streets of Charleston in the late afternoons of August was like walking through gauze or inhaling damaged silk.
Some weeks, I'm super-duper busy, so I can only fit cardio in here and there, a lot of stuff happens in the afternoon, so I can get up and have a workout, which makes me feel awesome for the rest of my day. There's just something sexy about feeling strong. And every night I'm onstage, I get another workout.
Jihad is becoming as American as apple pie and as British as afternoon tea.
A holocaust of an afternoon.
I love being able to take a nap in the afternoon.
Elton wanted a garden. They were building all afternoon while we were rehearsing. And then they built a fountain for Elton. And he said, I was only joking!
The greatest luxury is being able to go to movies and plays now and then in the afternoons.
Sunday afternoons at a parish center - or a community center - is familiar territory for me.
Some people thinks that I'm the Antichrist, which would be a really good disguise for the Antichrist. You'd never see a pudgy, out-of-shape guy, 5 o'clock in the afternoon, being the Antichrist, would you?
The house became full of love. Aureliano expressed it in poetry that had no beginning and no end. He would write it on the harsh pieces of parchment that Melquiades gave him, on the bathroom walls, on the skin of his arms, and in all of it Remedios would appear transfigured: Remedios in the soporific air of two in the afternoon, Remedios in the soft breath of the roses, Remedios in the water-clock secrets of the moths, Remedios in the steaming morning bread, Remedios everywhere and Remedios forever.
Kids want to be professional footballers and I think they need to know what it takes to get there - you know, the dedication. People see footballers playing on a Saturday afternoon in front of the TV cameras, but from a Monday to Friday people don't really see what goes on.
Until you've been kissed on a rainy Parisian afternoon - you've never been kissed.
I spent a week there one afternoon.
My favorite film is "Meshes in the Afternoon," a short avant garde film directed by Maya Deren. This was the first film that I saw that was actually directed by a woman.
And in time it will be as though men had never come to this perfect corner of the world-never called it paradise on earth, never despoiled it with their dream factories; and in the golden hush of the afternoon all that will be heard will be the flittering of dragonflies, and the murmur of hummingbirds as they pass from bower to bower, looking for a place to sup sweetness.
As footballers, we have time on our hands. Yes, we work very hard but we also have spare afternoons.
