They would not find me changed from him they knew - only more sure of all I thought was true.
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.

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

Poetry is play. I'd even rather have you think of it as a sport. For instance, like football.
Robert Frost
Image
Nothing flatters me more than to have it assumed that I could write prose, unless it be to have it assumed that I once pitched a baseball with distinction.
Robert Frost

Anything more than the truth would have seemed too weak.

Image
Tolerance is the uncomfortable feeling that in the end the other could be right.
Robert Frost
Image
Families break up when they get hints you don't intend and miss hints that you do.
Robert Frost
Image
The woods are lovely, dark, and deep but I have promises to keep...
Robert Frost
Image
The truth is the river flows into the canyon Of Ceasing-to-Question-What-Doesn't-Concern-Us, As sooner or later we have to cease somewhere.
Robert Frost
Image
Earth would soon Be uninhabitable as the moon. What for that matter had it ever been? Who advised man to come and live therein?

Space ails us moderns: we are sick with space.

I'm not a teacher, but an awakener.
