Famous quotes containing the words red and/or chalk:

    If all hearts were open and all desires known—as they would be if people showed their souls—how many gapings, sighings, clenched fists, knotted brows, broad grins, and red eyes should we see in the market-place!
    Thomas Hardy (1840–1928)

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