Edgar Lee Masters Quotes

Margaret Fuller Slack I WOULD Have Been As Great As George Eliot But For An Untoward Fate. For Look At The Photograph Of Me Made By Penniwit, Chin Resting On Hand, And Deep - Set Eyes - Gray, Too, And Far-searching. But There Was The Old, Old Problem: Should It Be Celibacy, Matrimony Or Unchastity? Then John Slack, The Rich Druggist, Wooed Me, Luring Me With The Promise Of Leisure For My Novel, And I Married Him, Giving Birth To Eight Children, And Had No Time To Write. It Was All Over With Me, Anyway, When I Ran The Needle In My Hand While Washing The Baby's Things, And Died From Lock - Jaw, An Ironical Death. Hear Me, Ambitious Souls, Sex Is The Curse Of Life.
