More Quotes from Edgar Lee Masters:

Seeing how their difficulties could be avoided.

Above the spire of the church, and laughed at the church,
Disdaining me, not seeing me.

Beware of giving your love away
To any man alive.

It saw what it saw, it knew what it knew.

Till the face came forth like life?

For you never traveled
The long, long way that begins with school days,
When little fingers blur under the tears
That fall on the crooked letters.
