Quote of the Day (Edwin Arlington Robinson, on the Passing of the Old West)

“Dark hills at evening in the west,

Where sunset hovers like a sound

Of golden horns that sang to rest

Old bones of warriors under ground,

Far now from all the bannered ways

Where flash the legions of the sun,

You fade—as if the last of days

Were fading, and all wars were done.”—Three-time Pulitzer Prize-winning American poet Edwin Arlington Robinson (1869-1935), “The Dark Hills,” from Collected Poems (1921)
