Robinson

Famous quotes containing the word robinson:

    And we, with all our wounds and all our powers,
    Must each await alone at his own height
    Another darkness or another light;
    —Edwin Arlington Robinson (1869–1935)

    I watched him; and the sight was not so fair
    As one or two that I have seen elsewhere:
    An apparatus not for me to mend—
    A wreck, with hell between him and the end.
    —Edwin Arlington Robinson (1869–1935)

    Like a wild stranger out of wizard-land
    He dwelt a little with us, and withdrew;
    Black and unblossomed were the ways he knew,
    Dark was the glass through which his fire eye shined.
    —Edwin Arlington Robinson (1869–1935)
