Lady Harriet

Famous quotes containing the words lady and/or harriet:

    “No, not another song,” said he,
    “Because my lady came
    A year ago for the first time
    At midnight to my room,
    And I must lie between the sheets
    When the clock begins to chime.”
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    Summer is different. We now have breakfast together, for example ... it hasn’t happened in so long that we’re not sure how to go about it. So we bump into each other in the kitchen. I never saw Ozzie and Harriet bump into each other in the kitchen—not once. Ozzie knew his place was at the table, while Harriet knew that her place was at the stove.
    Nathan Cobb (20th century)
