Butterflies...flowers that fly and all but sing.
Robert Frost
Image
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
Image
It's hard to get into this world and hard to get out of it, and what's in between doesn't make much sense.
Robert Frost
Image
One of the hardest things in life to accept is a called third strike.
Robert Frost
Image
When clever people ask me where I get a poem, I despair.
Robert Frost
Image
Don't be agnostic - be something.
Robert Frost
Image
A name with meaning could bring up a child, Taking the child out of the parents' hands. Better a meaningless name, I should say, As leaving more to nature and happy chance. Name children some names and see what you do.
Robert Frost
Image
God turned to speak to me (Don't anybody laugh) God found I wasn't there At least not over half.

Space ails us moderns: we are sick with space.
Robert Frost
Image
Nature is always hinting at us. It hints over and over again. And suddenly we take the hint.
Robert Frost
Image
Our very life depends on everything's Recurring till we answer from within.
Robert Frost

Meditate nothing. Learn to contemplate. Contemplate glory. There will be a light. Contemplate Truth until it burns your eyes out.
Robert Frost
Image
Of course there is matter for remark in poems. Nobody denies that. But it must be solemnly laid on everybody in this world to make his own observations and remarks. That's what we mean by thinking, and that's about all we mean. A teacher says to a pupil Watch me notice a few things in the next few months: let's see you notice a few things too.

Image
Belief is better than anything else, and it is best when rapt - above paying its respects to anybody's doubt whatsoever.
Robert Frost
Image
The old dog barks backward without getting up I can remember when he was a pup.
Robert Frost
Image
Now no joy but lacks salt That is not dashed with pain And weariness and fault I crave the stain Of tears, the aftermark Of almost too much love, The sweet of bitter bark And burning clove.
Robert Frost
Image
Nothing not built with hands of course is sacred. But here is not a question of what's sacred Rather of what to face or run away from. I'd hate to be a runaway from nature.
Robert Frost
Image
... A nation has to take its natural course Of Progress round and round in circles From King to Mob to King to Mob to King Until the eddy of it eddies out.
Robert Frost
Image
Poetry is play. I'd even rather have you think of it as a sport. For instance, like football.
Robert Frost
Image
The best way to hate is the worst. 'Tis to find what the hated need, Never mind of what actual worth, And wipe that out of the earth. Let them die of unsatisfied greed.
