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.
Next to nothing for use.But a crop is a crop,And who's to say where The harvest shall stop?
It's God - I'd have known Him by Blake's picture anywhere
A man will sometimes devote all his life to the development of one part of his body -- the wishbone.
Before I built a wall I'd ask to know what I was walling in or walling out.
Something there is that doesn't love a wall
Man that is of woman born is apt to be as vain as his mother

My object in living is to uniteMy avocation and my vocationAs my two eyes make one in sight
Piling up knowledge is as bad as piling up money. You have to begin sometime to kick around what you know.
Oh, give us pleasure in the flowers today; And give us not to think so far away As the uncertain harvest; keep us here All simply in the springing of the year.
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
I would have written of me on my stone: I had a lover's quarrel with the world.
Happiness makes up in height what it lacks in length
