Richard Cory
BY EDWIN ARLINGTON ROBI NSON

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.

The Parable of the Lost Son

11 Jesus continued: “There was a man who had two sons. 12 The younger one said to
his father, ‘Father, give me my share of the estate.’ So he divided his
property between them.
13 “Not long after that, the younger son got together all he had, set off for a distant
country and there squandered his wealth in wild living.14 After he had spent
everything, there was a severe famine in that whole country, and he began to be in
need. 15 So he went and hired himself out to a citizen of that country, who sent him to
his fields to feed pigs. 16 He longed to fill his stomach with the pods that the pigs
were eating, but no one gave him anything.
17 “When he came to his senses, he said, ‘How many of my father’s hired servants
have food to spare, and here I am starving to death! 18 I will set out and go back to
my father and say to him: Father, I have sinnedagainst heaven and against you. 19 I
am no longer worthy to be called your son; make me like one of your hired
servants.’ 20 So he got up and went to his father.
“But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and was filled with
compassion for him; he ran to his son, threw his arms around him and kissed him.
21 “The son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. I am
no longer worthy to be called your son.’
22 “But the father said to his servants, ‘Quick! Bring the best robe and put it on him.
Put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet. 23 Bring the fattened calf and kill it.
Let’s have a feast and celebrate. 24 For this son of mine was dead and is alive
again; he was lost and is found.’ So they began to celebrate.
25 “Meanwhile, the older son was in the field. When he came near the house, he heard
music and dancing. 26 So he called one of the servants and asked him what was going
on. 27 ‘Your brother has come,’ he replied, ‘and your father has killed the fattened
calf because he has him back safe and sound.’
28 “The older brother became angry and refused to go in. So his father went out and
pleaded with him. 29 But he answered his father, ‘Look! All these years I’ve been
slaving for you and never disobeyed your orders. Yet you never gave me even a young
goat so I could celebrate with my friends. 30 But when this son of yours who has
squandered your propertywith prostitutes comes home, you kill the fattened calf for
him!’
31 “‘My son,’ the father said, ‘you are always with me, and everything I have is
yours. 32 But we had to celebrate and be glad, because this brother of yours was dead
and is alive again; he was lost and is found.’”
