A name with meaning could bring up a child, Taking the child out of the parents' hands. Better a meaningless name, I should say, As leaving more to nature and happy chance. Name children some names and see what you do.
Robert Frost
Image
Style is less the man than the way a man takes himself.
Robert Frost

Love at the lips was touch As sweet as I could bear And once that seemed too much I lived on air.
Robert Frost

That day she put our heads together, Fate had her imagination about her, Your head so much concerned with outer, Mine with inner, weather.
Robert Frost
Image
Courage is the human virtue that counts most-courage to act on limited knowledge and insufficient evidence. That's all any of us have.
