And yet he was not lost: he was astray-
Out of his life and in another life;
And in the stillness of this other life
He wondered and he drowsed.
(The Book Of Annandale)
More Quotes from Edwin Arlington Robinson:

Than in a thousand years of life like this?
Edwin Arlington Robinson

But hunger lived thereafter in his eyes?
Edwin Arlington Robinson

What life has in it to be lost;
And I could ask if what I saw,
Before me there, was man or ghost.

Love met you smiling, we are told;
But now that all your gold is gone,
Love leaves you hungry and alone.
Edwin Arlington Robinson
Be calm when you are growing old
And you have nothing else to do;
Pour not the wine of life too thin
If water means the death of you.
Edwin Arlington Robinson
We suffer when we do not understand;
And you have suffered-you that love me now-
Because you are a man.
Edwin Arlington Robinson
