Robinson

Famous quotes containing the word robinson:

    I cannot find my way: there is no star
    In all the shrouded heavens anywhere;
    —Edwin Arlington Robinson (1869–1935)

    But go, and if you listen she will call,
    Go to the western gate, Luke Havergal—
    Luke Havergal.
    —Edwin Arlington Robinson (1869–1935)

    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)
