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)

    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)

    Miniver Cheevy, born too late,
    Scratched his head and kept on thinking;
    Miniver coughed, and called it fate,
    And kept on drinking.
    Edwin Arlington Robinson (1869–1935)

    He comes unfailing for the loan
    We give and then forget;
    He comes, and probably for years
    Will he be coming yet,—
    Familiar as an old mistake,
    And futile as regret.
    Edwin Arlington Robinson (1869–1935)
