Mail Quote of the Week

Old-fashioned letters!  How good they were!
And, oh, how we watched the mails, 
But nobody writes of the quaint delights
Of the sunny days and merry nights
Or tells us the things that we yearn to know --
That art passed out with the long ago, 
And lost are the simple tales, 
Yet we all would be happier, I think, 
If we'd spend more time with our pen and ink.

~ Edgar Albert Guest, Old-Fashioned Letters, last lines.
