Edgar Lee Masters Biography Edgar Lee Masters American Poet Edgar Lee Masters occupies a transitional place in American literature, straddling the divide between narrative poetry of the 19th century and modern American poetry of the 20th century. He was a prolific and diverse writer, belonging to the Chicago Group of Midwestern writers. His career saw the decline in influence of the Midwest as the Eastern literary establishment rose to prominence in American literature. Spoon River Anthology Masters was not encouraged in his literary ambitions; his father, a lawyer, wanted his son to also pursue the legal profession. Masters accordingly studied law and was admitted to the Illinois bar in 1891. He practiced law first in Chicago, then New York, for nearly thirty years. He initially formed a law partnership with Kickham Scanlan (1893 - 1903); he later joined the law firm of famed attorney Clarence Darrow (1903 - 1911). He married Helen Jenkins, daughter of another Chicago lawyer, in 1898 and with her had three children. During his early period Masters wrote several undistinguished plays and books of poetry under the pseudonym Dexter Wallace. He became part of the Chicago Group of writers and poets, which included Harriet Monroe, editor of the Poetry magazine, Carl Sandburg and Vachel Lindsay.

Positive Atheism's Big List of Quotations Mar-May No-Frames Quotes Index Load This File With Frames Index Home to Positive Atheism Marcus Aurelius Antoninus [Marcus Annius Verus] (121-180) Philosopher and emperor of Rome (161-180) who wrote Meditations , a classic work of stoicism. From Apollonius I learned freedom of will and undeviating steadiness of purpose; and to look to nothing else, not even for a moment, except to reason. Marcus Aurelius The Meditations (Book One) I cannot comprehend how any man can want anything but the truth. Marcus Aurelius The Meditations There is but one thing of real value to cultivate truth and justice, and to live without anger in the midst of lying and unjust men. Marcus Aurelius , from W. E. H. Lecky, History of European Morals (Vol I. p. 106); quoted from Joseph Lewis The Ten Commandments (p. 572) Hast thou reason? I have. Why then dost not thou use it? For if this does its own work, what else dost thou wish? Marcus Aurelius The Meditations (Book Four) Within ten days thou wilt seem a god to those to whom thou art now a beast and an ape, if thou wilt return to thy principles and the worship of reason. Marcus Aurelius The Meditations (Book Four) Always run to the short way; and the short way is the natural: accordingly say and do everything in conformity with the soundest reason. For such a purpose frees a man from trouble, and warfare, and all artifice and ostentatious display.

93. Edgar Lee Masters, Spoon River Anthology edgar lee masters, Spoon River Anthology (1915; New American Library, 1992). There is something fascinating about looking at life http://www.rambles.net/masters_spoon15.html

Edgar Lee Masters, Spoon River Anthology (1915; New American Library, 1992) There is something fascinating about looking at life backwards, from end to beginning. That is what Edgar Lee Masters offers us with his biting, poetic vision of the human experience. Many poems, all of which are delightfully concise, conclude with proverbs that rival those of the Bible itself. "This is life's sorrow," he writes in "Herbert Marshal," "That one can be happy only where two are/And that our hearts are drawn to stars/which want us not." Masters, perhaps unknowingly, includes occasional glimpses of eastern philosophy as well, such as in "Griffy the Cooper," in which he writes, "You are submerged in the tub of yourself/Taboos and rules and appearances/Are the Staves of your tub/Break them and dispel the witchcraft/Of thinking your tub is life/And that you know life!" The essence of Taoism or Buddhism is hidden within the little tightly woven masterpieces of this poetry collection. On a more down-to-earth level, if you aren't confronted with reflections of yourself at some time while reading these poems, you're not really reading. This book is an obligation for every human being. - Rambles written by Gianmarc Manzione published 1 March 2003 Buy it from Amazon.com.
