Won Vacant

Famous quotes containing the words won and/or vacant:

    “For sleeping, like death,
    Must be won without pride,
    With a nod from nature,
    With a lack of strain,
    And a loss of stature.”
    —Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    “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)
