Which landed me in the jail at Peoria
Branded a swindler and a crook
By the upright Federal Judge!
(Dr. Siegfried Iseman)
More Quotes from Edgar Lee Masters:
I would have been as great as George EliotBut for an untoward fate.
Edgar Lee Masters
Do you think that odes and sermons,
And the ringing of church bells,
And the blood of old men and young men,
Martyred for the truth they saw
With eyes made bright by faith in God,
Accomplished the world's great reformations?
Edgar Lee Masters
If a man could bite the giant hand
That catchs and destroys him,
As I was bitten by a rat
While demonstrating my patent trap,
In my hardware store that day.
Edgar Lee Masters
Where is my boy, my boy --
In what far part of the world?
Edgar Lee Masters
Hear me, ambitious souls,
Sex is the curse of life.
Edgar Lee Masters
I went up and down the streets
Here and there by day and night,
Through all hours of the night caring for the poor who were sick.

I would have loved to have met some former spies, but they don't readily advertise themselves unless they're not living in Moscow, and even then. I'm sure I've met some without realizing it.
