He's, you know, nibbling on some grass, frolicking.

They're just being playful.

Eva Zeisel on the playful search for beauty

There's some type of snakes knowed to take a romp in that water.

They are playing, all free, for all children.

The playful is therefore an important part of our quality as designer.

That means the playful search for beauty was called the first activity of Man.

Gone? It's full of them, most days

You're laughing.

Hot summer pavements, the children at play... the buildings in their naked stone... the people, without makeup.

Sarah Smith, who was a mathematics professor at MIT, wrote, The playful search for beauty was Man's first activity that all useful qualities and all material qualities were developed from the playful search for beauty.

Well, to describe our profession otherwise, we are actually concerned with the playful search for beauty.

Since 2007 every other month the city closes down the busiest streets for traffic and converts it into a playground for children and childhood.

Time spent with you is like chasing and catching small birds, but without the scratches and bird shit.

Leave them to their vain discoursing and horse play till they come to meet their promised day (of reckoning).

Therefore leave them to utter vile speech and to play, until they confront the day which they are promised.

Then leave them alone to plunge and play, until they encounter that day of theirs which they are promised.

So let them thou alone wading and sporting until hey meet the Day which they are promised.

So leave them (alone) to speak nonsense and play until they meet the Day of theirs, which they have been promised.

So leave them to blunder and play, until they encounter their Day which they are promised.

So leave them alone to indulge in their vanities and to frolic about until they encounter that Day of theirs against which they have been warned.

So let them flounder (in their talk) and play until they meet the Day which they are promised.

So leave them to gossip and play until they encounter the day they are promised.

Let them alone to plunge and play, until they encounter that Day of theirs which they are promised.

So leave them to converse vainly and amuse themselves until they meet their Day which they are promised.

Leave them (to indulge) in their desires and play around until they face that day which has been promised to them.

So leave them plunging into false discourses and sporting until they meet their day which they are threatened with.

So leave them alone to indulge in vain discourse and amuse themselves until they come face to face with that Day which they have been promised.

So leave them to babble and play (with vanities) until they meet that Day of theirs, which they have been promised.

Their kids are in the water they're getting tar all over their clothes and their sandals. It's a mess.
