“The dignity of the artist lies in his duty of keeping awake the sense of wonder in the world. In this long vigil he often has to vary his methods of stimulation; but in this long vigil he is also himself striving against a continual tendency to sleep.”

“Bless you, of course youre keeping me from work,
But the thing of it is, I need to be kept.
Theres work enough to do theres always that;
But behinds behind. The worst that you can do
Is set me back a little more behind.
I shant catch up in this world, anyway.
Id rather youd not go unless you must.”
—Robert Frost (18741963)
