The nearest friends can go With anyone to death, comes so far short They might as well not try to go at all.

More quotes by Robert Frost
Let's get my incantation right: I wish I may, I wish I might Give earth another satellite.
Robert Frost
If one by one we counted people out For the least sin, it wouldn't take us long To get so we had no one left to live with. For to be social is to be forgiving.
Robert Frost
But this we know, the obstacle that checked And tripped the body, shot the spirit on Further than target ever showed or shone.
Robert Frost
I have stood still and stopped the sound of feet When far away an interrupted cry Came over houses from another street, But not to call me back or say good-bye.
Robert Frost
Our life runs down in sending up the clock. The brook runs down in sending up our life. The sun runs down in sending up the brook. And there is something sending up the sun.
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
An idea is a feat of association.
Robert Frost
A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness.
Robert Frost
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
Now close the windows and hush all the fields: If the trees must, let them silently toss.
Robert Frost
You have freedom when you're easy in your harness.
Robert Frost
I dwell in a lonely house I know That vanished many a summer ago.
Robert Frost
One age is like another for the soul.
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.
Robert Frost
The ear is the only true writer and the only true reader. I know people who read without hearing the sentence sounds and they were the fastest readers. Eye readers we call them. They get the meaning by glances. But they are bad readers because they miss the best part of what a good writer puts into his work.
Robert Frost
They would not find me changed from him they knew - only more sure of all I thought was true.
Robert Frost
Not to sink under being man and wife, But get some color and music out of life?
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.
Robert Frost
The sun was warm but the wind was chill. You know how it is with an April day.
Robert Frost
