Art of Words

Robert Frost

“Poetry is what gets lost in translation.” 

― Robert Frost

“Forgive, O Lord, my little jokes on Thee

And I'll forgive Thy great big one on me.” 

― Robert Frost

“Some say the world will end in fire,

Some say in ice.

From what I've tasted of desire,

I hold with those who favor fire. 

But if it had to perish twice

I think I know enough of hate

To say that for destruction ice

Is also great

And would suffice.” 

― Robert Frost

“We love the things we love for what they are.”

“The Road Not Taken

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,

And sorry I could not travel both

And be one traveler, long I stood

And looked down one as far as I could

To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,

And having perhaps the better claim,

Because it was grassy and wanted wear;

Though as for that the passing there

Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay

In leaves no step had trodden black.

Oh, I kept the first for another day!

Yet knowing how way leads on to way,

I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh

Somewhere ages and ages hence:

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—

I took the one less traveled by,

And that has made all the difference.”
