Style is less the man than the way a man takes himself.
Robert Frost

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.

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.

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.

Robert Frost

Nothing not built with hands of course is sacred. But here is not a question of what's sacred Rather of what to face or run away from. I'd hate to be a runaway from nature.
Robert Frost
Image
I have wished a bird would fly away, And not sing by my house all day Have clapped my hands at him from the door When it seemed as if I could bear no more. The fault must partly have been in me. The bird was not to blame for his key. And of course there must be something wrong In wanting to silence any song.

The sidelong glance is what you depend on.

You, of course, are a rose-- But were always a rose.

What we live by we die by.
Robert Frost
Image
But this we know, the obstacle that checked And tripped the body, shot the spirit on Further than target ever showed or shone.

States strong enough to do good are but few. Their number would seem limited to three.
