“I never started to plow in my lifeThat some one did not stop in the roadAnd take me away to a dance or picnic.I ended up with forty acres;I ended up with a broken fiddle —And a broken laugh, and a thousand memories,And not a single regret.” Edgar Lee Masters book Fiddler Jones Fiddler Jones
“The earth keeps some vibration goingThere in your heart, and that is you.And if the people find you can fiddle,Why, fiddle you must, for all your life.” Edgar Lee Masters book Fiddler Jones "Fiddler Jones"
