At bottom the world isn't a joke. We only joke about it to avoid an issue with someone, to let someone know that we know he's there with his questions to disarm him by seeming to have heard and done justice to his side of the standing argument.

Education doesn't change life much. It just lifts trouble to a higher plane of regard.
Robert Frost

We disparage reason. But all the time it's what we're most concerned with. There's will as motor and there's will as brakes. Reason is, I suppose, the steering gear.

Image
I'd like to get away from earth awhile And then come back to it and begin over. May no fate wilfully misunderstand me And half grant what I wish and snatch me away Not to return. Earth's the right place for love: I don't know where it's likely to go better.

There would be more than ocean-water broken Before God's last Put out the Light was spoken.

Of all crimes the worst Is to steal the glory From the great and brave, Even more accursed Than to rob the grave.
Robert Frost
Image
Let cloud shapes swarm, / Let chaos storm, / I wait for form.
Robert Frost
Image
Now no joy but lacks salt That is not dashed with pain And weariness and fault I crave the stain Of tears, the aftermark Of almost too much love, The sweet of bitter bark And burning clove.

I'm not a teacher, but an awakener.

You've often heard me say - perhaps too often - that poetry is what is lost in translation. It is also what is lost in interpretation. That little poem means just what it says and it says what it means, nothing less but nothing more.

Poetry should be common in experience but uncommon in books.

What we live by we die by.

I am not a teacher. I am an awakener.

What is this talked-of mystery of birth. But being mounted bareback on the earth?
