Mending Wall
Robert Frost. “Something there is that doesn’t love a wall..
.The gaps, I mean/ No one has seen them made or heard them made/ But at spring mending-time we find them there.” “My apple trees will never get across/ And eat the cones under his pines, I tell him.” “Good fences make good neighbours.” “Before I built a wall I’d ask to know/ What I was walling in or walling out…
“
Design
Robert Frost. “I found a dimpled spider, fat and white..
.Assorted characters of death and blight… What had that flower to do with being white/ The wayside blue and innocent heal-all?” “What but design of darkness to appall?–/ If design govern in a thing so small.”
Meeting and passing
Robert Frost. “But all/ We did that day was mingle great and small/ Footprints in summer dust as if we drew/ The figure of our being less than two/ But more than one as yet. Your parasol/ Pointed the decimal off with one deep thrust.
“
Mowing
Robert Frost. “What was it whispered?…Something, perhaps, about the lack of sound–/ And that was why it whispered and did not speak.” “It was no dream of the gift of idle hours/ Or easy gold at the hand of fay or elf/ Anything more than the truth would have seemed to weak..
.The fact is the sweetest dream that labour knows.”
Spring Pools
Robert Frost. “That trees that have it in their pent up buds/ To darken nature and be summer woods — / Let them think twice before they use their powers/ To blot out and drink up and sweep away/ These flowery waters and these watery flowers/ From snow that melted only yesterday.”
