The urge of nature that made a man
Evolve from his brain a spiritual life --
Oh miracle of the world!
(Professor Newcomer)
More Quotes from Edgar Lee Masters:

To wage my battle of life to the end.

Very well, Thomas Rhodes,
You are cock of the walk, no doubt.
Edgar Lee Masters
You may think, passer-by, that Fate
Is a pit-fall outside of yourself,
Around which you may walk by the use of foresight
And wisdom.

You guard the threads of love and friendship
For noble figures in gold and purple.

And the old soldier is struck with silence,
Or his mind flies away
Because he cannot concentrate it on Gettysburg.
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
