Robert Frost

A poem begins in delight and ends in wisdom.

Writing free verse is like playing tennis with the net down.

There never was any heart truly great and generous, that was not also tender and compassionate.

Romance is dead - it was acquired in a hostile takeover by Hallmark and Disney, homogenized, and sold off piece by piece.

England was full of words I'd never heard before - streaky bacon, short back and sides, Belisha beacon, serviettes, high tea, ice-cream cornet.

I don't like to get in front of people.
