Robinson

Famous quotes containing the word robinson:

    He packed a lot of things that she had made
    Most mournfully away in an old chest
    Of hers, and put some chopped-up cedar boughs
    In with them, and tore down the slaughterhouse.
    —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)

    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)
