Blackboard Chalk

Famous quotes containing the words blackboard and/or chalk:

    When Wilson got upon his legs in those days he seems to have gone into a sort of trance, with all the peculiar illusions and delusions that belong to a pedagogue gone mashugga. He heard words giving three cheers; he saw them race across a blackboard like Mexicans pursued by the Polizei; he felt them rush up and kiss him.
    —H.L. (Henry Lewis)

    The women cry,
    Come, my fox,
    heal me.
    I am chalk white
    with middle age
    so wear me threadbare....
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
