Famous quotes containing the words red and/or chalk:

    “The red of her lower lip
    kissed off by her lover at night
    can be seen at dawn,
    reflected in the eyes
    of other wives.”
    —Hla Stavhana (c. 50 A.D.)

    “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)
