I have wished a bird would fly away, And not sing by my house all day Have clapped my hands at him from the door When it seemed as if I could bear no more. The fault must partly have been in me. The bird was not to blame for his key. And of course there must be something wrong In wanting to silence any song.

Robert Frost
New is a word for fools in towns who think Style upon style in dress and thought at last Must get somewhere.
Robert Frost

Robert Frost
Out alone in the winter rain, / Intent on giving and taking pain.
Robert Frost
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.
