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.

More Quotes from Edgar Lee Masters:
At last you get in-but you hear a step:The ogre, Life, comes into the room,
(He was waiting and heard the clang of the spring)
To watch you nibble the wondrous cheese,
And stare with his burning eyes at you,
And scowl and laugh, and mock and curse you,
Running up and down in the trap,
Until your misery bores him.
Edgar Lee Masters
Passer-by,
To love is to find your own soul
Through the soul of the beloved one.
Edgar Lee Masters
You believed in the joy of life.
Edgar Lee Masters
But a promise is a promise
And marriage is marriage,
And out of respect for my own character
I refused to be drawn into a divorce
By the scheme of a husband who had merely grown tired
Of his marital vow and duty.
Edgar Lee Masters
Degenerate sons and daughters,
Life is too strong for you--
It takes life to love Life.
Edgar Lee Masters
For love was offered me and I shrank from its disillusionment;
Sorrow knocked at my door, but I was afraid;
Ambition called to me, but I dreaded the chances.
Edgar Lee Masters
