'Warm in December, cold in June, you say?' I don't suppose the water's changed at all. You and I know enough to know it's warm Compared with cold, and cold compared with warm. But all the fun's in how you say a thing.

Of course there is matter for remark in poems. Nobody denies that. But it must be solemnly laid on everybody in this world to make his own observations and remarks. That's what we mean by thinking, and that's about all we mean. A teacher says to a pupil Watch me notice a few things in the next few months: let's see you notice a few things too.

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

The best way for a person to have happy thoughts is to count his blessings and not his cash. Happiness makes up in height for what it lacks in length.
Robert Frost

I often say of George Washington that he was one of the few in the whole history of the world who was not carried away by power.

The sweet of bitter bark And burning clove.
Robert Frost
Image
The hurt is not enough: I long for weight and strength. To feel the earth as rough to all my length

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.
