THREE SKETCHES I. In this vale of toil and sin your head grows bald but not your chin. Burma Shave By your pate, Professor, grown bald with the likes of me by your shining pate, the sun bouncing off it at a quarter past 3 there we sat, soaking it up. I remember it very well — A receding sun, dragging September down the river like a boatload of freshmen whose green minds, believe it or not, were expanding. Across the ridge is Norwich and over it ominous sky and the lightning flash and then, slow rumble of revelation. Or so it seemed to us, taking the light off your head at face value. we were young and uneasy under your magnified eyes bearing down on us with all the weight of Baker Library reading to us at the speed of light Ecclesiastes, your nose trailing the verses, one by one rippling the fine pages, your head bobbing up for annunciation: You see, Mr. Cheeseborough, you see? And we did see. The sun singled out the motes in the air and we counted them one by one. So the leaves hung in the air, one by one bled of summer, and one by one we coughed up themes and various other answers so that October and November were likewise dragged down river and a few of us went under and swam furiously for State Colleges and the sun receded until finally it graced you at 2:46 Eastern Standard Time — By your shining pate. Sir, they were not bad days 1 know more now by a long shot. Original road signs donated to the Smithsonian.
