More quotes by Robert Frost
But these are flowers that fly and all but sing: And now from having ridden out desire They lie closed over in the wind and cling Where wheels have freshly sliced the April mire.
Robert Frost
Nature's never quite Sure she hasn't erred In her vague design.
Robert Frost
We get twitted now and then on how we made this country. Well, we took the whole business, of course. It's not just that corner that we took from Mexico. When we got it all together, we got a very shapely country-the best continental cut in all the world, between the two oceans and in the right temperature zone.
Robert Frost
Let him that is without stone among you cast the first thing he can lay his hands on.
Robert Frost
The best thing we're put here for's to see The strongest thing that's given us to see with's a telescope. Someone in every town, seems to me, owes it to the town to keep one.
Robert Frost
Poetry should be common in experience but uncommon in books.
Robert Frost
One of the lies would make it out that nothing Ever presents itself before us twice. Where would we be at last if that were so? Our very life depends on everything's Recurring till we answer from within.
Robert Frost
Like a piece of ice on a hot stove the poem must ride on its own melting. . . . Read it a hundred times it will forever keep its freshness as a metal keeps its fragrance. It can never lose its sense of a meaning that once unfolded by surprise as it went.
Robert Frost
I could define poetry this way: it is that which is lost out of both prose and verse in translation.
Robert Frost
Why make so much of fragmentary blue In here and there a bird, or butterfly, Or flower, or wearing-stone, or open eye, When heaven presents in sheets the solid hue?
Robert Frost
A poem may be worked over once it is in being, but may not be worried into being.
Robert Frost
Both T.S. Eliot and I like to play, but I like to play euchre, while he likes to play Eucharist.
Robert Frost
Courage is of the heart by derivation, And great it is. But fear is of the soul.
Robert Frost
Nobody was ever meant, To remember or invent, What he did with every cent.
Robert Frost
A turning point in modern history.
Robert Frost
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.
Robert Frost
You have freedom when you're easy in your harness.
Robert Frost
The figure a poem makes. It begins in delight and ends in wisdom.
Robert Frost
Half the world is composed of people who have something to say and can't, and the other half who have nothing to say and keep on saying it.
Robert Frost
But not gold in commercial quantities, Just enough gold to make the engagement rings And marriage rings of those who owned the farm. What gold more innocent could one have asked for?
Robert Frost
