City Despatch Post

Famous quotes containing the words city and/or post:

    The city mouse lives in a house;—
    The garden mouse lives in a bower,
    Christina Georgina Rossetti (1830–1894)

    My business is stanching blood and feeding fainting men; my post the open field between the bullet and the hospital. I sometimes discuss the application of a compress or a wisp of hay under a broken limb, but not the bearing and merits of a political movement. I make gruel—not speeches; I write letters home for wounded soldiers, not political addresses.
    Clara Barton (1821–1912)
