JohnMcDonald15: Edgar Lee Masters (1868-1950)
I always thought it would be interesting to write a new, updated "Spoon River Anthology" for our time. (His was originally published in 1915.) If nothing else, it would reveal the changes in our "national character" in individual sketches.

Is a pit-fall outside of yourself,
Around which you may walk by the use of foresight

As one who in God-like fashion bends over an anthill, ..."

Than to lie under this marble figure with wings,
And this granite pedestal

kokeesachdeva: And there is the silence of the dead.
If we who are in life cannot speak
Of profound experiences,
Why do you marvel that the dead
Do not tell you of death?
Their silence shall be interpreted
As we approach them.
~ "Silence" -Edgar Lee Masters
michellekafer: Live full!
"What is this I hear of sorrow and weariness,
Anger, discontent and drooping hopes?
Degenerate sons and daughters,
Life is too strong for you —
It takes life to love Life."

AmbikeshAnkit: Very inspiring lines from "Emily Sparks" by Edgar Lee Masters
My boy, wherever you are,
Work for your soul's sake,
That all the clay of you, all of the dross of you,
May yield to the fire of you,
Till the fire is nothing but light!...
Nothing but light!

IrvLeavitt: How all of us kill the children of love, and all of us,
Knowing not what we do, devour their flesh;
And all of us change to singers, although it be
But once in our lives, or change—alas!—to swallows,
To twitter amid cold winds & falling leaves!
(Edgar Lee Masters, 1915)
IrvLeavitt: This is life’s sorrow:
That one can be happy only when two are;
And that our hearts are drawn to stars
Which want us not.
— Edgar Lee Masters, Spoon River Anthology

Powell_DA: Do people still read Edgar Lee Masters' "Spoon River Anthology?" I often return to it to be startled at what can be done with voices speaking from the grave.
sawdustbear: My opinion on writing based on other people's lives is that you should be very careful, but you probably can't piss off more people than Edgar Lee Masters did with Spoon River Anthology.

margiedeck: Best thing I read today-
You too may walk...beyond four miles of meadow; And after woman's love is silent, Saying no more: "I will save you." And after the faces of friends and kindred become as faded photographs, pitifully silent...

Memorize some bit of verse of truth or beauty.
It may serve a turn in your life."

tallerdeloido: A birth with gains and losses.
The mind sees the world as a thing apart,
And the soul makes the world at one with itself.
A mirror scratched reflects no image—
And this is the silence of wisdom.
Edgar Lee Masters (1868–1950). Spoon River Anthology. 1916.
margiedeck: Best thing I read today—
She took my strength by minutes,
She took my life by hours,
She drained me like a fevered moon
That saps the spinning world.
