Joy shivers in the corner where she knits And Conscience always has the rocking-chair, Cheerful as when she tortured into fits The first cat that was ever killed by Care.

About
Edwin Arlington Robinson was born in Head Tide, Lincoln County, Maine, USA. He was an American poet who won three Pulitzer Prizes for his work. In 1896 he self-published his first book, The Torrent and the Night Before, paying 100 dollars for 500 copies. His second volume, Children of the Night, had a somewhat wider circulation. The Town Down the River, Robinson’s next book, was dedicated to Roosevelt and earned some positive critical attention. His reputation also received a boost from The Man Against the Sky, which was particularly praised by the influential poet Amy Lowell.
