Why, fiddle you must and for all your life.

More Quotes from Edgar Lee Masters:
And there is the silence of age,Too full of wisdom for the tongue to utter it
In words intelligible to those who have not lived
The great range of life.
Edgar Lee Masters
I who kept the greenhouse,
Lover of trees and flowers,
Oft in life saw this umbrageous elm,
Measuring its generous branches with my eye,
And listened to its rejoicing leaves
Lovingly patting each other
With sweet aeolian whispers.
Edgar Lee Masters
It is all forgotten, save by us, the memories,
Who are forgotten by the world.
Edgar Lee Masters
The idea danced before us as a flag;
The sound of martial music;
The thrill of carrying a gun;
Advancement in the world on coming home;
A glint of glory, wrath for foes;
A dream of duty to country or to God.
Edgar Lee Masters
It is well to abstain from murder and lust,
To forgive, do good to others, worship God
Without graven images.
Edgar Lee Masters
I knew of the eagle souls that flew high in the sunlight,
Above the spire of the church, and laughed at the church,
Disdaining me, not seeing me.
Edgar Lee Masters
