Ive done some reflection on losses to society this year in the names of the late Robin Williams and Philip Seymour Hoffman, coupled with the climate of wealth envy and economic inequity. Im left wondering when such an attitude became a virtue in America? 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. https://youtube/watch?v=fAGKpoVFbmw
