He dwelt a little with us, and withdrew;

Dark was the glass through which his fire eye shined.”
—Edwin Arlington Robinson (1869–1935)
“I hate the prostitution of the name of friendship to signify modish and worldly alliances. I much prefer the company of ploughboys and tin-peddlers, to the silken and perfumed amity which celebrates its days of encounter by a frivolous display, by rides in a curricle, and dinners at the best taverns.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
