Postmen have a legendary aura. A ring at the doorbell may inflame a sense of expectation, suspense, secrecy, hazard or even intrigue. Ringing twice may imply a warning that trouble is on the way or an appeal to make the coast clear.

We are, so therefore, bound to watch the agony of "time". ("Waiting for a place behind the geraniums " )

Expectations arise from thoughtful consideration of our future prospects in life.
