The rose is a rose, And was always a rose. But the theory now goes That the apple's a rose.
Robert Frost
Why make so much of fragmentary blue In here and there a bird, or butterfly, Or flower, or wearing-stone, or open eye, When heaven presents in sheets the solid hue?
Robert Frost
I wonder about the trees. Why do we wish to bear Forever the noise of these More than another noise So close to our dwelling place?
Robert Frost
If we couldn't laugh we would all go insane.
Robert Frost
For me the initial delight is in the surprise of remembering something I didn't know I knew. I have never started a poem yet whose end I knew.
Robert Frost
Two such as you with such a master speed Cannot be parted nor be swept away
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
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
When clever people ask me where I get a poem, I despair.
Robert Frost
Ah, when to the heart of man Was it ever less than a treason To go with the drift of things, To yield with a grace to reason, And bow and accept the end Of a love or a season?
Robert Frost
Before now poetry has taken notice Of wars, and what are wars but politics Transformed from chronic to acute and bloody?
Robert Frost
And one of the three great things in the world is gossip, you know. First there's religion and then there's science and there's-and then there's friendly gossip. Those are the three-the three great things.
Robert Frost
One age is like another for the soul.
Robert Frost
But I have promises to keep, and miles to go before I sleep, and miles to go before I sleep.
Robert Frost
A poet must never make a statement simply because it sounds poetically exciting he must also believe it to be true. - W. H. Auden A poem...begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness...It finds the thought and the thought finds the words.
Robert Frost
I have wished a bird would fly away, And not sing by my house all day.
Robert Frost
There is the fear that we shan't prove worthy in the eyes of someone who knows us at least as well as we know ourselves. That is the fear of God. And there is the fear of Man -fear that men won't understand us and we shall be cut of from them.
Robert Frost
