Robinson

Famous quotes containing the word robinson:

“I have lived in both worlds. And I think I prefer, to the indifferent, haphazard, money- mad hurry of the Outside World, that of my world; that sympathy and understanding grown shadowy since I have been away from it so long, still is more real to me than the world I am in now. Not only the spangles and the gay trappings made it colorful; there was an inner color that warmed the soul. And that I miss.”
—Josephine Demott Robinson (1865–1948)

“Dark, marvelous, and inscrutable he moved on
Till down the fiery distance he was gone,”
—Edwin Arlington Robinson (1869–1935)

“He set the jug down slowly at his feet
With trembling care, knowing that most things break;”
—Edwin Arlington Robinson (1869–1935)
