Services Run

Famous quotes containing the words services and/or run:

    Men will say that in supporting their wives, in furnishing them with houses and food and clothes, they are giving the women as much money as they could ever hope to earn by any other profession. I grant it; but between the independent wage-earner and the one who is given his keep for his services is the difference between the free-born and the chattel.
    Elizabeth M. Gilmer (1861–1951)

    When this yokel comes maundering,
    Whetting his hacker,
    I shall run before him,
    Diffusing the civilest odors
    Out of geraniums and unsmelled flowers.
    It will check him.
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
