Chalk Level

Famous quotes containing the words chalk and/or level:

    “Through throats where many rivers meet, the curlews cry,
    Under the conceiving moon, on the high chalk hill,
    And there this night I walk in the white giant’s thigh
    Where barrren as boulders women lie longing still
    To labour and love though they lay down long ago.”
    —Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)
