Robert Frost
Image
Ah, when to the heart of man Was it ever less than a treason To go with the drift of things, To yield with a grace to reason, And bow and accept the end Of a love or a season?
Robert Frost

Poetry is play. I'd even rather have you think of it as a sport. For instance, like football.
Robert Frost
Image
I could give all to Time except--except What I myself have held.
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.

I never take my own side in a quarrel.
Robert Frost
Image
Summary riposte To the dreary wail There's no knowing what Love is all about. Poets know a lot.

Let me be the one To do what is done.

The way a crow Shook down on me The dust of snow From a hemlock tree Has given my heart A change of mood And saved some part Of a day I had rued.
