Life is too strong for you--
It takes life to love Life.

More Quotes from Edgar Lee Masters:
In truth, I can so believe.Edgar Lee Masters
I spun, I wove, I kept the house, I nursed the sick,
I made the garden, and for holiday
Rambled over the fields where sang the larks,
And by Spoon River gathering many a shell,
And many a flower and medicinal weed--
Shouting to the wooded hills, singing to the green valleys.
Edgar Lee Masters

For local clubs.
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
And all we fiddlers, from highest to lowest,
Writers of music and tellers of stories
Sit at his feet,
And hear him sing of the fall of Troy.
Edgar Lee Masters
And gates ajar -- yes, so they were;
You left them open and stray goats entered your garden.
Edgar Lee Masters
