Edgar Lee Masters Quotes

My Name Used To Be In The Papers Daily
As Having Dined Somewhere,
Or Traveled Somewhere,
Or Rented A House In Paris,
Where I Entertained The Nobility.
I Was Forever Eating Or Traveling,
Or Taking The Cure At Baden-Baden.
Now I Am Here To Do Honor
To Spoon River, Here Beside The Family Whence I Sprang.
No One Cares Now Where I Dined,
Or Lived, Or Whom I Entertained,
Or How Often I Took The Cure At Baden-Baden!
