Robert Frost Quotes About House

Quotes about: House

• I have wished a bird would fly away,
  And not sing by my house all day;
  Have clapped my hands at him from the door
  When it seemed as if I could bear no more.
  The fault must partly have been in me.
  The bird was not to blame for his key.
  And of course there must be something wrong
  In wanting to silence any song.

• I have been one acquainted with the night. I have walked out in rain - and back in rain. I have out walked the furthest city light. I have looked down the saddest city lane. I have passed by the watchman on his beat And dropped my eyes, unwilling to explain. I have stood still and stopped the sound of feet. When far away an interrupted cry Came over houses from another street, But not to call me back or say good-bye; And further still at an unearthly light, One luminary clock against the sky Proclaimed the time was neither wrong nor right. I have been one acquainted with the night.
