For no eye marks us, or would know why we are here.
(Edith Conant)
More Quotes from Edgar Lee Masters:
And then when I found what you were:That your soul was small
And your words were false
As your blue-white porcelain teeth,
And your cuffs of celluloid,
I hated the love I had for you,
I hated myself, I hated you
For my wasted soul, and wasted youth.
Edgar Lee Masters
The which rebounded to my good fortune.

I, lover of Nature, beloved for my love of her,
Held such converse afar with the great
Who knew her better than I.

Where he lived many days cawing angrily at me
When I offered him food.
Edgar Lee Masters
This is Darrow,
Inadequately scrawled, with his young, old heart,
And his drawl, and his infinite paradox
And his sadness, and kindness,
And his artist sense that drives him to shape his life
To something harmonious, even against the schemes of God.
Edgar Lee Masters
