“The Lotos-Eaters” “Courage!” he said‚ and pointed toward the land‚ “This mounting wave will roll us shoreward soon.” In the afternoon they came unto a land In which it seemed always afternoon.

Chosen by Asker The poem “Richard Cory” by Edwin Arlington Robinson is about the tragic death of a wealthy idolized man. Robinson uses the irony of a man that seems to have the perfect life‚ to show us the reality that all is not what it seems.
