“Show me the place.”
Duke Senior
in As You Like It (2.1)
65: Head Tide, Maine; March 19, 2003
A tiny town along the coast,
Where Robinson* was born.
He left at childhood—moved away.
His poems would adorn
The writing of America—
A poet with the gift
To make us see things differently—
To make the planets shift.
*Edwin Arlington Robinson, 1869–1935
