Skin Envelope

Famous quotes containing the words skin and/or envelope:

    Nor skin nor hide nor fleece
    shall cover you,
    nor curtain of crimson nor fine
    shelter of cedar-wood be over you,
    nor the fir-tree
    nor the pine.
    Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)

    ... all my letters are read. I like that. I usually put something in there that I would like the staff to see. If some of the staff are lazy and choose not to read the mail, I usually write on the envelope “Legal Mail.” This way it will surely be read. It’s important that we educate everybody as we go along.
    Jean Gump, U.S. pacifist. As quoted in The Great Divide, book 2, section 10, by Studs Terkel (1988)
