Modern poets talk against business, poor things, but all of us write for money. Beginners are subjected to trial by market.

More quotes by Robert Frost
For me the initial delight is in the surprise of remembering something I didn't know I knew. I have never started a poem yet whose end I knew.
Robert Frost
Poetry is play. I'd even rather have you think of it as a sport. For instance, like football.
Robert Frost
'Warm in December, cold in June, you say?' I don't suppose the water's changed at all. You and I know enough to know it's warm Compared with cold, and cold compared with warm. But all the fun's in how you say a thing.
Robert Frost
No, in country money, the country scale of gain, The requisite lift of spirit has never been found.
Robert Frost
One luminary clock against the sky Proclaimed the time was neither wrong nor right.
Robert Frost
The afternoon knows what the morning never suspected.
Robert Frost
The ear is the only true writer and the only true reader.
Robert Frost
A true sonnet goes eight lines and then takes a turn for better or worse and goes six or eight lines more.
Robert Frost
The only way round is through.
Robert Frost
The Vermont mountains stretch extended straight New Hampshire mountains curl up in a coil.
Robert Frost
A poem begins in delight and ends in wisdom.
Robert Frost
Always fall in with what you're asked to accept. Take what is given, and make it over your way. My aim in life has always been to hold my own with whatever's going. Not against: with.
Robert Frost
Yes, and even for the past...that it will turn out to have been all right for what it was. Something I can accept. Mistakes made by the self I had to be or was not able to be.
Robert Frost
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.
Robert Frost
Freedom is slavery some poets tell us. Enslave yourself to the right leader's truth, Christ's or Karl Marx', and it will set you free.
Robert Frost
Before now poetry has taken notice Of wars, and what are wars but politics Transformed from chronic to acute and bloody?
Robert Frost
The middle of the road is where the white line is - and that's the worst place to drive.
Robert Frost
I see for Nature no defeat In one tree's overthrow Or for myself in my retreat For yet another blow.
Robert Frost
Some say the world will end in fire, Some say in ice. From what I've tasted of desire, I hold with those who favor fire. But if it had to perish twice I think I know enough of hate To say that for destruction ice Is also great And would suffice.
Robert Frost
Possessing what we still were unpossessed by, Possessed by what we now no more possessed.
Robert Frost
