Robert Penn Warren Quotes

He Had Had A Beautiful And Eager Young Wife And Another Man Had Taken Her Away From Him And Had Fathered His Child, And All He Had Done Was To Walk Away, Leaving Her In Possession Of Everything He Owned, And Crawl Into A Hole In The Slums And Lie There Like A Wounded Animal And Let His Intellect Bleed Away Into Pious Drivel And His Strength Bleed Away Into Weakness. And He Had Been Good. But His Goodness Had Told Me Nothing Except That I Could Not Live By It. My New Father, However, Had Not Been Good. He Had Cuckolded A Friend, Betrayed A Wife, Taken A Bride, Driven A Man, Though Unwittingly, To Death. But He Had Done Good.
