More Quotes from Edgar Lee Masters:
And whether you ever took it or not,My boy, wherever you are,
Work for your soul's sake,
That all the clay of you, all of the dross of you,
May yield to the fire of you,
Till the fire is nothing but light!

Sprang from your delusion that it was wantonness
Of spirit and contempt of your soul's rights
Which made me turn to Annabelle and forsake you.

Is a pit-fall outside of yourself,
Around which you may walk by the use of foresight
And wisdom.

As one who in God-like fashion bends over an anthill,
Seeing how their difficulties could be avoided.

Fighting like seven devils.
