Held such converse afar with the great
Who knew her better than I.
(William Jones)
More Quotes from Edgar Lee Masters:
But in taking life for myself,In seizing and crushing their souls,
As a child crushes grapes and drinks
From its palms the purple juice,
I came to this wingless void,
Where neither red, nor gold, nor wine,
Nor the rhythm of life are known.
Edgar Lee Masters

Edgar Lee Masters
It was all over with me, anyway,
When I ran the needle in my hand
While washing the baby's things,
And died from lock-jaw, an ironical death.
Edgar Lee Masters
Well, Emily Sparks, your prayers were not wasted,

Edgar Lee Masters
I awoke one morning with the love of God
Brimming over my heart, so I went to see Richard
To settle the fence in the spirit of Jesus Christ.
Edgar Lee Masters
Be brave, all souls who have such visions!
