Street-poster

A street-poster — pasting bills on public walls — often touches undertaking unpleasant, unprofitable work, with disagreeable news if you see others at it. The dream may ask where you're stuck doing thankless labour for little return, and whether the dreary chore is worth the effort or merely a herald of more unwelcome tidings.

Miller 1901

Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
