Something sinister in the tone Told me my secret must be known: Word I was in the house alone Somehow must have gotten abroad, Word I was in my life alone, Word I had no one left but God.

Image
I own I never really warmed To the reformer or reformed. And yet conversion has its place Not halfway down the scale of grace.

Than smoke and mist who better could appraise The kindred spirit of an inner haze?

The sidelong glance is what you depend on.
Robert Frost
Image
It is absurd to think that the only way to tell if a poem is lasting is to wait and see if it lasts. The right reader of a good poem can tell the moment it strikes him that he has taken an immortal wound-that he will never get over it.

The people I am most afraid of are those who are the most afraid.
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
He thought that I was after him for a feather--- The white one in his tail: like one who takes everything said as personal to himself.

The best things and best people rise out of their separateness I'm against a homogenized society because I want the cream to rise.
