Robert Frost
But this we know, the obstacle that checked And tripped the body, shot the spirit on Further than target ever showed or shone.
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
Nothing can make injustice just but mercy.
