Famous quotes by robert frost:
“Slave to a springtime passion for the earth.
How Love burns through the Putting in the Seed
On through the watching for that early birth
When, just as the soil tarnishes with weed,
The sturdy seedling with arched body comes
Shouldering its way and shedding the earth crumbs.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“The brook was thrown
Deep in a sewer dungeon under stone
In fetid darkness still to live and run....”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“He knew a path that wanted walking;
He knew a spring that wanted drinking;
A thought that wanted further thinking;
A love that wanted re-renewing.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“Just specimens is all New Hampshire has,
One each of everything as in a show-case
Which naturally she doesn’t care to sell.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
