    “Richard Cory”
    By: Edwin Arlington Robinson
    Edwin Arlington Robinson’s Biography
    Edwin Arlington Robinson was born in the village of
    Head Tide in the town of Alna, Maine on December 22,
    1869. Third son of Edward and Mary Elizabeth (Palmer)
    Robinson, he was shy and quiet as a child, also utterly
    fascinated by the sound of the words. His greatest
    delights seemed to be “Hunting difficult word”.

    Early 1935, Robinson fell ill with cancer. He stayed


    hospitalized until his death, correcting galley proofs of
    his last poem, “king Jasper” only hours before sleeping
    into a final coma.

    “What makes a
    person truly happy
    and contented?”
    Richard Cory
    BY EDWIN ARLINGTON ROBINSON

    Whenever Richard Cory went down town,


    We people on the pavement looked at him:
    He was a gentleman from sole to crown,
    Clean favored, and imperially slim.

    And he was always quietly arrayed,


    And he was always human when he talked;
    But still he fluttered pulses when he said,
    "Good-morning!" and he glittered when he
    walked.
    And he was rich—yes, richer than a king—
    And admirably schooled in every grace:
    In fine, we thought that he was everything
    To make us wish that we were in his place.

    So on we worked, and waited for the light,


    And went without the meat, and cursed the bread;
    And Richard Cory, one calm summer night,
    Went home and put a bullet through his head.
    RICHARD
    CORY
    Irony usually conveys a difference
    between how things seem to be and
    the reality.

    Example:
    1. The name of Britain’s biggest dog was

    “Tiny”.
    2. I posted a video on Youtube about
    how boring and useless Youtube is.
