The Revolution & The Postal Service
/
The ordinary believe that what they seek is somewhere “out there,” while the Few have narrowed down the field considerably.
Way, way back, a poet noted that, “The gods are a difficult foe to oppose,” which goes to show that man's gift for understatement is by no means newly acquired.
Notes on The Revolution and The Postal Service:
You've got to cancel your past,
return the present to sender,
and refuse delivery of the future.
A burglar, after being shot in the buttocks by the local constable, was heard to say, “Had I had the benefit of such a poignant treatment earlier in my life, I do believe that my mere knowledge of the law could have grown into outright respect.”
What could be spiffier than the insouciant manner and magnanimity of he with the biggest blade and the winning hand?
