Quote

They cannot scare me with their empty spaces Between stars—on stars where no human race is. I have it in me so much nearer home To scare myself with my own desert places.

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.

I don't like to see things on purpose. I like them to soak in. A friend . . . asked me to go to the top of the Empire State Building once, and I told him that he shouldn't treat New York as a sight-it's feeling, an emotional experience. And the same with every place else.

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.

The figure a poem makes. It begins in delight and ends in wisdom.
Robert Frost

Nearly everybody is looking for something brave to do. I don't know why people shouldn't write poetry. That's brave.

The sun was warm but the wind was chill. You know how it is with an April day.

You've often heard me say - perhaps too often - that poetry is what is lost in translation. It is also what is lost in interpretation. That little poem means just what it says and it says what it means, nothing less but nothing more.

What is this talked-of mystery of birth. But being mounted bareback on the earth?
