There were Benjamin Pantier and his wife,
Good in themselves, but evil toward each other:
He oxygen, she hydrogen,
Their son, a devastating fire.
(Trainor The Druggist)
More Quotes from Edgar Lee Masters:
Here I confess to a lofty scorn,And an acrid skepticism.
Edgar Lee Masters
I spun, I wove, I kept the house, I nursed the sick,
I made the garden, and for holiday
Rambled over the fields where sang the larks,
And by Spoon River gathering many a shell,
And many a flower and medicinal weed--
Shouting to the wooded hills, singing to the green valleys.
Edgar Lee Masters
They set the lips, and sagged the cheeks,
And drooped the eyes with sorrow.
Edgar Lee Masters
Paul was invalided from over study,
Mary became a recluse at home for love of a man --
I sat under my cedar tree.
Edgar Lee Masters
But not content,
Wishing to own two thousand acres,
I bustled through the years with axe and plow,
Toiling, denying myself, my wife, my sons, my daughters.
Edgar Lee Masters
She was a hunk of sculptor's clay,
My secret thoughts were fingers:
They flew behind her pensive brow
And lined it deep with pain.
Edgar Lee Masters
