Robinson

Famous quotes containing the word robinson:

    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)

    Where was he going, this man against the sky?
    You know not, nor do I.
    —Edwin Arlington Robinson (1869–1935)

    Now view yourself as I was, on the spot—
    With a slight kind of engine. Do you see?
    Like this . . . You wouldn’t hang me? I thought not.”
    —Edwin Arlington Robinson (1869–1935)
