Robert Frost
Image
Now close the windows and hush all the fields: If the trees must, let them silently toss.
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.

What we live by we die by.
Robert Frost
Image
Some spirit to stand simply forth, Heroic in its nakedness, Against the uttermost of earth.
Robert Frost
Image
Trust him to have his bitter politics Against his unacquaintances the rich Who sleep in houses of their own, though mortgaged. Conservatives, they don't know what to save.

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
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.
Robert Frost
Image
When I was young my teachers were the old. I gave up fire for form till I was cold.
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.
