More quotes by Robert Frost
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.
Robert Frost
Oh, come forth into the storm and rout And be my love in the rain.
Robert Frost
The middle of the road is where the white line is - and that's the worst place to drive.
Robert Frost
The sidelong glance is what you depend on.
Robert Frost
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.
Robert Frost
When I see birches bend to left and right... I like to think some boy's been swinging them.
Robert Frost
There is absolutely no reason for being rushed along with the rush. Everybody should be free to go slow.
Robert Frost
The footpath down to the well is healed.
Robert Frost
There are two kinds of teachers: the kind that fill you with so much quail shot that you can't move, and the kind that just gives you a little prod behind and you jump to the skies.
Robert Frost
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.
Robert Frost
Evolution is like walking on a rolling barrel. The walker isn't so much interested in where the barrel is going as he is in keeping on top of it.
Robert Frost
The best way out is always through.
Robert Frost
The sun was warm but the wind was chill. You know how it is with an April day.
Robert Frost
If you don't know how great this country is, I know someone who does Russia.
Robert Frost
The worst disease which can afflict executives in their work is not, as popularly supposed, alcoholism it's egotism.
Robert Frost
Let him that is without stone among you cast the first thing he can lay his hands on.
Robert Frost
Love is an irresistible desire to be irresistibly desired.
Robert Frost
Poetry is the renewal of words, setting them free, and that's what a poet is doing: loosening the words.
Robert Frost
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
You've often heard me say - perhaps too often - that poetry is what is lost in translation. It is also what is lost in interpretation. That little poem means just what it says and it says what it means, nothing less but nothing more.
