Famous quotes containing the word parcel:

    “I am a parcel of vain strivings tied
    By a chance bond together,
    Dangling this way and that, their links
    Were made so loose and wide,
    Methinks,
    For milder weather.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “Have ye got the parcel there for Mrs White?
    Ye haven’t! Oh, begorra!
    Say it’s comin’ down tomorra—
    And it might now, Michael, so it might!’”
    —William Percy French (1854–1920)

    “For every parcel I stoop down to seize
    I lose some other off my arms and knees,
    And the whole pile is slipping, bottles, buns ...”
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)
