Quote from this book "The dismissal bell rang promptly at two-forty in the classrooms of Woodrow Wilson High, and at two-forty-five the school's large main door and two side entrances were disgorging students into Linden Street. Five minutes ago the sidewalk in front of the school had been as peaceful as the aisle of a church. And five minutes later it would again be silent, like a wheat field after a swarm of locusts, But now, during the brief interim between the wold liberated whoop of the first emerging student and the wistful dawdling of the last straggler, the restricted little area in front of the school was more turbulent than the busiest traffic corner in town. Here youth surged unchecked in all its clamorous arrogance, mild old ladies were likely to lose last year's hat, and choleric old gentlement to endanger their blood pressure. This was youth's dedicated ground, where the aged must venture at their own risk. It was, naturally, inconceivable that youth should slow down for age: let age speed up to youth or be swallowed up." opening paragraph Secondhand booksellers |
