Robert Frost Quotes About Silence

Quotes about: Silence

• 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.

  Why do we wish to bear
  Forever the noise of these
  More than another noise
  So close to our dwelling place?
