Robert Frost

Robert Frost
He thought that I was after him for a feather--- The white one in his tail: like one who takes everything said as personal to himself.
Robert Frost

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
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
