    “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)

    “A good soul like a good body should be as unobtrusive as possible; in so far as it functions properly, it should not be noticed for good or for ill.”
    —C.E.M. (Cyril Edwin Mitchinson)

    “The forehead and the little ears
    Have gone where Saturn keeps the years;
    The breast where roses could not live
    Has done with rising and with falling.”
    —Edwin Arlington Robinson (1869–1935)
