The figure a poem makes. It begins in delight and ends in wisdom... in a clarification of life - not necessarily a great clarification, such as sects and cults are founded on, but in a momentary stay against confusion.
Robert Frost
Image
Now close the windows and hush all the fields: If the trees must, let them silently toss.
Robert Frost
Image
Of all crimes the worst Is to steal the glory From the great and brave, Even more accursed Than to rob the grave.
Robert Frost
