Mailbox Rule

Famous quotes containing the words mailbox and/or rule:

    The snow far off on the pine
    nesting into the needles
    like addicts into their fix.
    The mailbox as stiff as a soldier
    but wearing a chef’s hat.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    There is no rule more invariable than that we are paid for our suspicions by finding what we suspected.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
