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.

I write to find out what I didn't know I knew.
Robert Frost

A person will sometimes devote all his life to the development of one part of his body - the wishbone.

Nature does not complete things. She is chaotic. Man must finish, and he does so by making a garden and building a wall.
Robert Frost

Before I built a wall I'd ask to know what I was walling in or walling out.
