Declared Vacant April

Famous quotes containing the words declared, vacant and/or april:

    School divides life into two segments, which are increasingly of comparable length. As much as anything else, schooling implies custodial care for persons who are declared undesirable elsewhere by the simple fact that a school has been built to serve them.
    Ivan Illich (b. 1926)

    And ladies with their nails prepared for tea
    And sunken barques that coast the shores of hell
    And old men vacant of propriety
    Have faintly rung a next-door neighbor’s bell.
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)

    Such comfort as do lusty young men feel
    When well-apparelled April on the heel
    Of limping winter treads.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
