The Collected Poems Quotes

“No tears in the writer, no tears in the reader.”
― Robert Frost, Collected Poems of Robert Frost

“For, dear me, why abandon a belief
Merely because it ceases to be true?
Cling to it long enough, and not a doubt
It will turn true again, for so it goes.
Most of the change we think we see in life
Is due to truths being in and out of favor.
As I sit here, and often times, I wish
I could be monarch of a desert land
I could devote and dedicate forever
To the truths we keep coming back and back to.
––from "The Black Cottage”
― Robert Frost, Collected Poems of Robert Frost

“But no, I was out for stars;
I would not come in.
I meant not even if asked;
And I hadn't been.”
― Robert Frost, Collected poems of Robert Frost
