Additional quotes by Robert Frost

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

But no, I was out for stars:
I would not come in.
I meant not even if asked,
And I hadn't been.

I turned to speak to God About the world's despair But to make bad matters worse I found God wasn't there. God turned to speak to me (Don't anybody laugh) God found I wasn't there At least not over half.
