Robert Frost Quotes About Waiting

Quotes about: Waiting

• Sarcastic Science, she would like to know,
  In her complacent ministry of fear,
  How we propose to get away from here
  When she has made things so we have to go
  Or be wiped out. Will she be asked to show
  Us how by rocket we may hope to steer
  To some star off there, say, a half light-year
  Through temperature of absolute zero?
  Why wait for Science to supply the how
  When any amateur can tell it now?
  The way to go away should be the same
  As fifty million years ago we came-
  If anyone remembers how that was
  I have a theory, but it hardly does.

• The city is all right. To live in one
  Is to be civilized, stay up and read
  Or sing and dance all night and see sunrise
  By waiting up instead of getting up.
