Mailbox Service

Famous quotes containing the words mailbox and/or service:

“Rejoice with the day lily for it is born for a day to live by the mailbox and glorify the roadside”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

“In the early forties and fifties almost everybody “had about enough to live on,” and young ladies dressed well on a hundred dollars a year. The daughters of the richest man in Boston were dressed with scrupulous plainness, and the wife and mother owned one brocade, which did service for several years. Display was considered vulgar. Now, alas! only Queen Victoria dares to go shabby.”
—M. E. W. Sherwood (1826–1903)
