Robert Frost
Image
I have wished a bird would fly away, And not sing by my house all day.
Robert Frost
Image
But these are flowers that fly and all but sing: And now from having ridden out desire They lie closed over in the wind and cling Where wheels have freshly sliced the April mire.
Robert Frost
Image
Nothing can make injustice just but mercy.
Robert Frost
