Arithmetic is numbers you squeeze from your head to your hand to your pencil to your paper till you get the answer.
Carl SandburgMy room for books and study or for sitting and thinking about nothing in particular to see what would happen was at the end of a hall.
Carl SandburgI remember the Chillicothe ballplayers grappling the Long Island ball players in a sixteen-inning game ended by darkness. And the shoulders of the Chillicothe players were a red smoke against the sundown and the shoulders of the Rock Island players were a yellow smoke against the sundown. And the umpire's voice was hoarse calling balls and strikes and outs and the umpire's throat fought in the dust for a song.
