Democracy achieved thereby, the freedom
And lust of life it symbolized.

More Quotes from Edgar Lee Masters:

In words intelligible to those who have not lived
The great range of life.

And marriage is marriage,
And out of respect for my own character

By the scheme of a husband who had merely grown tired
Of his marital vow and duty.

Good in themselves, but evil toward each other:
He oxygen, she hydrogen,
Their son, a devastating fire.
Edgar Lee Masters
But not a cell in all the tree
Knew aught save that it thrilled with life,
Nor cared because the hammock fell
In the dust with Milton's poems.
