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

Some spirit to stand simply forth, Heroic in its nakedness, Against the uttermost of earth.
Robert Frost

Both T.S. Eliot and I like to play, but I like to play euchre, while he likes to play Eucharist.

When clever people ask me where I get a poem, I despair.

Fireflies in the Garden By Robert Frost 1874–1963 Here come real stars to fill the upper skies, And here on earth come emulating flies, That though they never equal stars in size, (And they were never really stars at heart) Achieve at times a very star-like start. Only, of course, they can't sustain the part.

Live and let live, believe and let believe. 'Twas said the lesser gods were only traits Of the one awful God. Just so the saints Are God's white light refracted into colors.

Our very life depends on everything's Recurring till we answer from within.

The figure a poem makes. It begins in delight and ends in wisdom... in a clarification of life - not necessarily a great clarification, such as sects and cults are founded on, but in a momentary stay against confusion.
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.

The sun was warm but the wind was chill. You know how it is with an April day. When the sun is out and the wind is still, You're one month on in the middle of May. But if you so much as dare to speak, a cloud come over the sunlit arch, And wind comes off a frozen peak, And you're two months back in the middle of March.

Style is that which indicates how the writer takes himself and what he is saying. It is the mind skating circles around itself as it moves forward.
Robert Frost
Image
Like a piece of ice on a hot stove the poem must ride on its own melting. . . . Read it a hundred times it will forever keep its freshness as a metal keeps its fragrance. It can never lose its sense of a meaning that once unfolded by surprise as it went.

There are tones of voices that mean more than words.

When work becomes play, and play becomes your work, your life unfolds.

You have freedom when you're easy in your harness.

Summary riposte To the dreary wail There's no knowing what Love is all about. Poets know a lot.

Freedom lies in being bold.

Some say the world will end in fire, Some say in ice. From what I've tasted of desire, I hold with those who favor fire. But if it had to perish twice I think I know enough of hate To say that for destruction ice Is also great And would suffice.
Robert Frost
Image
I'd like to get away from earth awhile And then come back to it and begin over. May no fate wilfully misunderstand me And half grant what I wish and snatch me away Not to return. Earth's the right place for love: I don't know where it's likely to go better.

The afternoon knows what the morning never suspected.
