carpenter's pencil(pencil specifically designed for the requirements of a carpenter)
2001 [1963], Irving Stone, translated by Elek Máthé, A napsugár fia: Van Gogh élete, 2nd edition, Budapest: Vince Kiadó, translation of Lust for Life, →ISBN, page 155:
– Az én dolgaim igazabbak – mondta magában. – Igazabbak és mélyebbek. Én többet mondok az ácsceruzával, mint ez a De Bock egy egész festékes ládával. Mondanivalója világos, csak éppen amikor elmondja, nem mond vele semmit. Miért kap ezekért annyi pénzt, én meg az én rajzaimmal a fekete kenyérre és kávéra valót sem keresem meg?
“Mine are better,” he said to himself. “Mine are truer, deeper. I say more with a carpenter’s pencil than he says with a whole paint box. What he expresses is obvious. When he gets all through he has said nothing. Why do they give him praise and money and refuse me the price of black bread and coffee?”
