Robert Frost
Love at the lips was touch As sweet as I could bear And once that seemed too much I lived on air.
Robert Frost

Robert Frost

Robert Frost
A turning point in modern history.
Robert Frost
loosely bound By countless silken ties of love and thought To everything on earth the compass round
Robert Frost
A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness.
Robert Frost
You have freedom when you're easy in your harness.
Robert Frost
Trust him to have his bitter politics Against his unacquaintances the rich Who sleep in houses of their own, though mortgaged. Conservatives, they don't know what to save.
Robert Frost
The hurt is not enough: I long for weight and strength. To feel the earth as rough to all my length
Robert Frost
Summoning artists to participate In the august occasions of the state Seems something artists ought to celebrate. Today is for my cause a day of days.
