Harriet H. Robinson

Famous quotes containing the words harriet and/or robinson:

    Many Americans imagine simpler times even as a storm of social change swirls about, blowing parents here and children there. Sure, the 1950s ideal world would be wonderful. But knock on the nation’s doors: Ozzie and Harriet are seldom at home.
    Leslie Dreyfous (20th century)

    Poets and kings are but the clerks of Time,
    Tiering the same dull webs of discontent,
    Clipping the same sad alnage of the years.
    —Edwin Arlington Robinson (1869–1935)
