Famous quotes by robert frost:
“‘Our snowstorms as a rule
Aren’t looked on as man-killers, and although
I’d rather be the beast that sleeps the sleep
Under it all, his door sealed up and lost,
Than the man fighting it to keep above it,
Yet think of the small birds at roost and not
In nests....’”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“The light was what it was all about:
I would not go in till the light went out;
It would not go out till I came in.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“‘... A nation has to take its natural course
Of Progress round and round in circles
From King to Mob to King to Mob to King
Until the eddy of it eddies out.’”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
