Robert Earl Hayden

Famous quotes containing the words robert earl hayden, earl and/or hayden:

    Then you arrived, meditative, ironic,
    richly human; and your presence was shore where I rested
    released from the hoodoo of that dance, where I spoke
    with my true voice again.

    A young fellow ought to be wiser than he should seem to be; and an old fellow ought to seem wise whether he really be so or not.

    White robes like moonlight

    In the sweetgum dark.
    Unbucked that one then
    and him squealing bloody Jesus
    as we cut it off.
    —Robert Earl Hayden (1913–1980)
