Robert Frost
Tree at my window, window tree, My sash is lowered when night comes on But let there never be curtain drawn Between you and me.
Robert Frost
Come grow old with me, for the best is yet to come!
Robert Frost
Let me be the one To do what is done.
Robert Frost
Live and let live, believe and let believe. 'Twas said the lesser gods were only traits Of the one awful God. Just so the saints Are God's white light refracted into colors.
Robert Frost
Yes, and even for the past...that it will turn out to have been all right for what it was. Something I can accept. Mistakes made by the self I had to be or was not able to be.
Robert Frost
Talking is a hydrant in the yard and writing is a faucet upstairs in the house. Opening the first takes the pressure off the second.
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
Writing free verse is like playing tennis with the net down.
Robert Frost

Robert Frost
Nations like the Cuban and the Swiss Can never hope to wage a Global Mission. No Holy Wars for them. The most the small Can ever give us is a nuisance brawl.
Robert Frost
The greatest thing in family life is to take a hint when a hint is intended-and not to take a hint when a hint isn't intended.
Robert Frost

If it is with outer seriousness, it must be with inner humor. If it is with outer humor, it must be with inner seriousness. No other way will do.
Robert Frost
We love the things we love for what they are.
Robert Frost
When I was young my teachers were the old. I gave up fire for form till I was cold.
Robert Frost
The sister's face Fell all in wrinkles of responsibility. She wanted to do right. She'd have to think.
Robert Frost
No, in country money, the country scale of gain, The requisite lift of spirit has never been found.
Robert Frost
An idea comes as near to something for nothing as you can get.
Robert Frost
Meditate nothing. Learn to contemplate. Contemplate glory. There will be a light. Contemplate Truth until it burns your eyes out.
