The style is the man. Rather say the style is the way the man takes himself and to be at all charming or even bearable, the way is almost rigidly prescribed. If it is with outer seriousness, it must be with inner humor. If it is with outer humor, it must be with inner seriousness. No other way will do.

A poem may be worked over once it is in being, but may not be worried into being.

The ear is the only true writer and the only true reader. I know people who read without hearing the sentence sounds and they were the fastest readers. Eye readers we call them. They get the meaning by glances. But they are bad readers because they miss the best part of what a good writer puts into his work.

And one of the three great things in the world is gossip, you know. First there's religion and then there's science and there's-and then there's friendly gossip. Those are the three-the three great things.

Diplomacy, n : 1. The patriotic art of lying for one's country. 2. The art of letting someone have your way. 3. The art of saying 'nice doggy' until you can find a rock. A diplomat is a man who always remembers a woman's birthday but never remembers her age.

He thought that I was after him for a feather--- The white one in his tail: like one who takes everything said as personal to himself.

Fireflies in the Garden By Robert Frost 1874–1963 Here come real stars to fill the upper skies, And here on earth come emulating flies, That though they never equal stars in size, (And they were never really stars at heart) Achieve at times a very star-like start. Only, of course, they can't sustain the part.

A name with meaning could bring up a child, Taking the child out of the parents' hands. Better a meaningless name, I should say, As leaving more to nature and happy chance. Name children some names and see what you do.

You, of course, are a rose-- But were always a rose.

The Vermont mountains stretch extended straight New Hampshire mountains curl up in a coil.

Everyone asks for freedom for himself, The man free love, the businessman free trade, The writer and talker free speech and free press.

Before now poetry has taken notice Of wars, and what are wars but politics Transformed from chronic to acute and bloody?

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.

How many times it thundered before Franklin took the hint! How many apples fell on Newton's head before he took the hint! Nature is always hinting at us. It hints over and over again. And suddenly we take the hint.

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