Explore "Hortence Robbins" by Edgar Lee Masters on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
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!
