And nothing to look backward to with pride, and nothing to look forward to with hope.
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.

I see for Nature no defeat In one tree's overthrow Or for myself in my retreat For yet another blow.

Two such as you with such a master speed Cannot be parted nor be swept away

An idea comes as near to something for nothing as you can get.

Image
Now close the windows and hush all the fields: If the trees must, let them silently toss.
Robert Frost
Image
Meditate nothing. Learn to contemplate. Contemplate glory. There will be a light. Contemplate Truth until it burns your eyes out.
Robert Frost
Image
But I have promises to keep, and miles to go before I sleep, and miles to go before I sleep.

If you don't know how great this country is, I know someone who does Russia.
