Sunday Station

Famous quotes containing the words sunday and/or station:

    Here of a Sunday morning
    My love and I would lie,
    And see the colored counties,
    And hear the larks so high
    About us in the sky.
    —A.E. (Alfred Edward)

    [T]here is no situation so deplorable ... as that of a gentlewoman in real poverty.... Birth, family, and education become misfortunes when we cannot attain some means of supporting ourselves in the station they throw us into. Our friends and former acquaintances look on it as a disgrace to own us.... If we were to attempt getting our living by any trade, people in that station would think we were endeavoring to take their bread out of their mouths.
    Sarah Fielding (1710–1768)
