Seat Vacant

Famous quotes containing the words seat and/or vacant:

    My taking a seat on the Council of the Fathers caused a desperate fluttering among my ghosts.

    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.
