The Boston Evening Transcript
by T. S. Eliot
The readers of the Boston Evening Transcript1
Sway in the wind like a field of ripe corn.
When evening quickens faintly in the street,
Wakening the appetites of life in some
And to others bringing the Boston Evening Transcript,
I mount the steps and ring the bell, turning
Wearily, as one would turn to nod good-bye to Rochefoucauld2,
If the street were time and he at the end of the street,
And I say, “Cousin Harriet, here is the Boston Evening Transcript.”
1-A daily newspaper published in Boston, MA in the late 1800s and early 1900s
2-Rochefoucauld was a noted French author of maxims and memoirs and a nobleman
