Robinson

Famous quotes containing the word robinson:

    He may have seen with his mechanic eyes
    A world without a meaning, and had room,
    Alone amid magnificence and doom,
    To build himself an airy monument
    —Edwin Arlington Robinson (1869–1935)

    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)

    If factory-labor is not a means of education to the operative of to-day, it is because the employer does not do his duty. It is because he treats his work-people like machines, and forgets that they are struggling, hoping, despairing human beings.
    —Harriet H. Robinson (1825–1911)
