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)

    Give him the darkest inch your shelf allows,
    Hide him in lonely garrets, if you will,—
    But his hard, human pulse is throbbing still
    With the sure strength that fearless truth endows.
    —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)
