Famous quotes containing the words maine and/or customs:

    It was a Maine lobster town—
    each morning boatloads of hands
    pushed off for granite
    quarries on the islands.
    Robert Lowell (1917–1977)

    Neighboring farmers and visitors at White Sulphur drove out occasionally to watch ‘those funny Scotchmen’ with amused superiority; when one member imported clubs from Scotland, they were held for three weeks by customs officials who could not believe that any game could be played with ‘such elongated blackjacks or implements of murder.’
    —For the State of West Virginia, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
