The best things and best people rise out of their separateness; I'm against a homogenized society because I want the cream to rise.
From Robert Frost
We dance round in a ring and suppose, but the secret sits in the middle and knows.
The figure a poem makes. It begins in delight and ends in wisdom... in a clarification of life - not necessarily a great clarification, such as sects and cults are founded on, but in a momentary stay against confusion.
I have never started a poem yet whose end I knew. Writing a poem is discovering.
There are two kinds of teachers: the kind that fill you with so much quail shot that you can't move, and the kind that just gives you a little prod behind and you jump to the skies.
We love things we love what they are.
The woods are lovely, dark and deep. But I have promises to keep, and miles to go before I sleep.
Two roads diverged in a wood and I - I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference.
Poetry is when an emotion has found its thought and the thought has found words.
In three words I can sum up everything I've learned about life: it goes on.
