Image
I do not see why I should e’er turn back, Or those should not set forth upon my track To overtake me, who should miss me here And long to know if still I held them dear. They would not find me changed from him they knew — Only more sure of all I thought was true.

The style is the man. Rather say the style is the way the man takes himself and to be at all charming or even bearable, the way is almost rigidly prescribed. If it is with outer seriousness, it must be with inner humor. If it is with outer humor, it must be with inner seriousness. No other way will do.

Image
The figure a poem makes. It begins in delight and ends in wisdom.
Robert Frost
Image
Now close the windows and hush all the fields: If the trees must, let them silently toss.
Robert Frost
Image
That day she put our heads together, Fate had her imagination about her, Your head so much concerned with outer, Mine with inner, weather.
Robert Frost
Image
What is this talked-of mystery of birth. But being mounted bareback on the earth?
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
Have I not walked without an upward look Of caution under stars that very well Might not have missed me when they shot and fell? It was a risk I had to take-and took.

One age is like another for the soul.

It's God - I recognised him from Blake's picture.

There is one thing more exasperating than a wife who can cook and won't, and that's a wife who can't cook and will.

You're searching... For things that don't exist I mean beginnings. Ends and beginnings - there are no such things. There are only middles.
