Today’s Quote
• I think a theater show is a pure version of me doing my material. The theater crowd is a bit more polite, there really aren't hecklers, and there are a lot of people there to see me, and they're excited about the jokes and hanging out with me for a show.
-Anthony Jeselnik

Poet• Edwin Arlington Robinson (December 22, 1869 – April 6, 1935) was an American poet who won three Pulitzer Prizes for
his work• Robinson's early difficulties led many of his poems to have a dark pessimism and his stories to deal with "an American
dream gone awry.• At the age of 21, Edwin entered Harvard University as a special student. He took classes in English, French, and
Shakespeare, as well as one on Anglo-Saxon that he later dropped.
When these graven lines you see, Traveler, do not pity me;
Though I be among the dead, Let no mournful word be said.
Children that I leave behind, And their children, all were kind;
Near to them and to my wife, I was happy all my life.
My three sons I married right, And their sons I rocked at night; Death nor sorrow never brought Cause for one unhappy thought.
Now, and with no need of tears, Here they leave me, full of years,
Leave me to my quiet rest In the region of the blest.
-Edwin Arlington Robinson
