Laura Chouette
Campus Shirt sleeves half out of the jeans,
Eyes grounding the green while looking
All around for Christmas nights. Blue sounds of church bells ringing
On morning streets and alleys
Are rewritten in archways beneath. The campus is clear of recitation,
And the steps lead to none other than doors
That keep opening to New Year’s hope.
Laura Chouette

Shirley Jackson
I decided that I was going to fewer student parties after I ripped part of the sleeve out of my black dress helping a freshman climb a fence. By the end of the first semester, what I wanted to do most in the world was invite a few of my husband’s students over for tea and drop them down the well.
Shirley Jackson, Raising Demons
