There is the silence of those unjustly punished;
And the silence of the dying whose hand
Suddenly grips yours.
(Silence)
More Quotes from Edgar Lee Masters:
To be judged by you,The soul of me hidden from you,
With its wound gangrened
By love for a wife who made the wound,
With her cold white bosom, treasonous, pure and hard,
Relentless to the last, when the touch of her hand,
At any time, might have cured me of the typhus,
Caught in the jungle of life where many are lost.
Edgar Lee Masters
The which rebounded to my good fortune.

Who wrote beautifully, write him a letter.
Edgar Lee Masters
And when Adam outwitted God by eating the apple
And saw through the lie,
God drove him out of Eden to keep him from taking
The fruit of immortal life.
Edgar Lee Masters
They set the lips, and sagged the cheeks,
And drooped the eyes with sorrow.
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.
