Robinson

Famous quotes containing the word robinson:

    But still he fluttered pulses when he said,
    “Good-morning,” and he glittered when he walked.
    —Edwin Arlington Robinson (1869–1935)

    The manufacturing corporation, except in comparatively few instances, no longer represents a protecting care, a parental influence, over its operatives. It is too often a soulless organization; and its members forget that they are morally responsible for the souls and bodies, as well as for the wages, of those whose labor is the source of their wealth.
    —Harriet H. Robinson (1825–1911)

    But what she meets and what she fears
    Are less than are the downward years,
    Drawn slowly to the foamless weirs
    Of age, were she to lose him.
    —Edwin Arlington Robinson (1869–1935)
