SPOON RIVER ANTHOLOGY: HORTENSE ROBBINS, by EDGAR LEE MASTERS Poet Analysis Poet's Biography
First Line: My name used to be in the papers daily
Last Line: Or how often I took the cure at baden-baden!
First Line: My name used to be in the papers daily
Last Line: Or how often I took the cure at baden-baden!
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!
