Famous quotes by robert frost:
“Haven’t you heard, though,
About the ships where war has found them out
At sea, about the towns where war has come
Through opening clouds at night with droning speed
Further o’erhead than all but stars and angels
And children in the ships and in the towns?”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)

And the daft sun-assaulter, he
That frighted thee so oft, is fled or dead....”

Sang halfway through its little inborn tune.”

All is an interminable chain of longing.”

Did he look like ?’

I’ll never rest tonight unless I know.
Give me the lantern.’”
