Famous quotes by edwin arlington robinson:

    But go, and if you listen she will call,
    Go to the western gate, Luke Havergal—
    Luke Havergal.
    Edwin Arlington Robinson (1869–1935)

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

    There was not much that was ahead of him,
    And there was nothing in the town below—
    Where strangers would have shut the many doors
    That many friends had opened long ago.
    Edwin Arlington Robinson (1869–1935)

    They are all gone away,
    The house is shut and still,
    There is nothing more to say.
    Edwin Arlington Robinson (1869–1935)

    Your Dollar is your only Word,
    The wrath of it your only fear.

    ‘You build it altars tall enough
    To make you see, but your are blind;
    You cannot leave it long enough
    To look before you or behind.
    Edwin Arlington Robinson (1869–1935)
