Analysis of Clarence Darrow
Edgar Lee Masters 1868 (Garnett) – 1950 (Elkins Park)
This is Darrow,
Inadequately scrawled, with his young, old heart,
And his drawl, and his infinite paradox
And his sadness, and kindness,
And his artist sense that drives him to shape his life
To something harmonious, even against the schemes of God.
