Robinson

Famous quotes containing the word robinson:

    And at his heart there may have gnawed
    Sick memories of a dead faith foiled and flawed
    —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)

    Where was he going, this man against the sky?
    You know not, nor do I.
    —Edwin Arlington Robinson (1869–1935)
