Last Night We Listen To Music,

as we normally do when we eat on Saturday evenings,

one of the songs we played was The Dangling Conversation by Simon & Garfunkel, I have listen to it so many times over the years, some of the lines are,

And you read your Emily Dickinson,

And I my Robert Frost,

And we note our place with bookmarkers

That measure what we've lost.

so I thought that I would make a post about Robert Frost, (1874 - 1963), here are some of his quotes,

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I -- I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference.

These woods are lovely, dark and deep, But I have promises to keep, And miles to go before I sleep, And miles to go before I sleep.

In three words I can sum up everything I've learned about life: it goes on.

The only way round is through.

The best way out is always through.

Freedom lies in being bold.

Love is an irresistible desire to be irresistibly desired.

I am not a teacher, but an awakener.

My apple trees will never get across And eat the cones under his pines, I tell him. He only says, “Good fences make good neighbors.”

Whose woods these are I think I know. His house is in the village though; He will not see me stopping here To watch his woods fill up with snow.

and if you want to read his poems they are all here.
