Famous quotes containing the words john and/or robinson:

    Thou hast brought him a pardon from good King John.”
    —Unknown. King John and the Abbot of Canterbury (l. 108)

    Passion is here a soilure of the wits,
    We’re told, and Love a cross for them to bear;
    Joy shivers in the corner where she knits
    And Conscience always has the rocking-chair,
    Cheerful as when she tortured into fits
    The first cat that was ever killed by Care.
    —Edwin Arlington Robinson (1869–1935)
