Hell is a half-filled auditorium.
Robert Frost
Image
Nature's never quite Sure she hasn't erred In her vague design.
Robert Frost
Image
Nature does not complete things. She is chaotic. Man must finish, and he does so by making a garden and building a wall.
Robert Frost
Image
End is a gloomy word.

Unless you are educated in metaphor, you are not safe to be let loose in the world.
Robert Frost
Image
Let cloud shapes swarm, / Let chaos storm, / I wait for form.
Robert Frost
Image
I only hope that when I am free, as they are free to go in quest, of the knowledge beyond the bounds of life, it may not seem better to me to rest.
Robert Frost

But I have promises to keep, and miles to go before I sleep, and miles to go before I sleep.

The heart can think of no devotion Greater than being shore to the ocean- Holding the curve of one position, Counting an endless repetition.
Robert Frost

The style is the man. Rather say the style is the way the man takes himself and to be at all charming or even bearable, the way is almost rigidly prescribed. 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.

They cannot scare me with their empty spaces Between stars—on stars where no human race is. I have it in me so much nearer home To scare myself with my own desert places.
Robert Frost
Image
The best way to hate is the worst. 'Tis to find what the hated need, Never mind of what actual worth, And wipe that out of the earth. Let them die of unsatisfied greed.
Robert Frost
Image
Half the world is composed of people who have something to say and can't, and the other half who have nothing to say and keep on saying it.
Robert Frost
Image
God turned to speak to me (Don't anybody laugh) God found I wasn't there At least not over half.
Robert Frost
Image
An idea comes as near to something for nothing as you can get.
Robert Frost
Image
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

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.

As for his evil tidings, Belshazzar's overthrow, Why hurry to tell Belshazzar What soon enough he would know?
