Before now poetry has taken notice Of wars, and what are wars but politics Transformed from chronic to acute and bloody?
Robert Frost
Image
Yes, of course [this age] is materialistic, but the only way to counteract it is to create spiritual things. Don't worry yourself about the materialism too much. Create and stir other people to create!
Robert Frost

I'd like to go by climbing a birch tree~ And climb black branches up a snow-white trunk Toward heaven, till the tree could bear no more, But dipped its top and set me down again. That would be good both going and coming back. One could do worse than be a swinger of birches.
Robert Frost
Image
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

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.

We get twitted now and then on how we made this country. Well, we took the whole business, of course. It's not just that corner that we took from Mexico. When we got it all together, we got a very shapely country-the best continental cut in all the world, between the two oceans and in the right temperature zone.

Affection is an overpowering craving to be compellingly sought.

No memory of having starred atones for later disregard, or keeps the end from being hard.

You can't trust God to be unmerciful. There you have the beginning of all wisdom.

Good fences make good neighbors.

Meditate nothing. Learn to contemplate. Contemplate glory. There will be a light. Contemplate Truth until it burns your eyes out.
Robert Frost
Image
I'm always saying something that's just the edge of something more.
Robert Frost
Image
I wonder about the trees. Why do we wish to bear Forever the noise of these More than another noise So close to our dwelling place?
Robert Frost
Image
Summoning artists to participate In the august occasions of the state Seems something artists ought to celebrate. Today is for my cause a day of days.

Unless you are educated in metaphor, you are not safe to be let loose in the world.
Robert Frost
Image
One of the lies would make it out that nothing Ever presents itself before us twice. Where would we be at last if that were so? Our very life depends on everything's Recurring till we answer from within.
Robert Frost
Image
But not gold in commercial quantities, Just enough gold to make the engagement rings And marriage rings of those who owned the farm. What gold more innocent could one have asked for?
