In Popular Literature
"The Boston Evening Transcript" is also the title of a poem by T. S. Eliot which reads:
- The readers of the Boston Evening Transcript
- Sway in the wind like a field of ripe corn.
- When evening quickens faintly in the street,
- Wakening the appetites of life in some
- And to others bringing the Boston Evening Transcript,
- I mount the steps and ring the bell, turning
- Wearily, as one would turn to nod good-bye to La Rochefoucauld,
- If the street were time and he at the end of the street,
- And I say, "Cousin Harriet, here is the Boston Evening Transcript."
