Famous quotes containing the word robinson:

    Are we no greater than the noise we make
    Along one blind atomic pilgrimage
    Whereon by crass chance billeted we go
    Because our brains and bones and cartilage
    Will have it so?
    —Edwin Arlington Robinson (1869–1935)

    Dark, marvelous, and inscrutable he moved on
    Till down the fiery distance he was gone,
    —Edwin Arlington Robinson (1869–1935)

    But what she meets and what she fears
    Are less than are the downward years,
    Drawn slowly to the foamless weirs
    Of age, were she to lose him.
    —Edwin Arlington Robinson (1869–1935)
