Edwin Arlington

Famous quotes containing the words edwin arlington and/or arlington:

    “Passion is here a soilure of the wits,
    We’re told, and Love a cross for them to bear;
    Joy shivers in the corner where she knits
    And Conscience always has the rocking-chair,
    Cheerful as when she tortured into fits
    The first cat that was ever killed by Care.”
    —Edwin Arlington Robinson (1869–1935)

    “Ah, when shall come love’s courage to be strong!
    Tell me, O Lord—tell me, O Lord, how long
    Are we to keep Christ writhing on the cross!”
    —Edwin Arlington Robinson (1869–1935)
