“You can be a little ungrammatical if you come from the right part of the country.” — Robert Frost
(Okay, English teachers! What he talkin’ about?) — YUR

“In three words I can sum up everything I’ve learned about life: it goes on.” — Robert Frost
(If you hold – what I think is the crazy assumption – that the Earth is the only planet where “life” exists, as many religious fundamentalists seem to believe, then you’d think that you would take stewardship of this planet much more seriously. But, no. It seems that too many people who think this way are entrenched in the belief that God gave man dominion over all the earth. When you keep taking, and you keep befouling, you are eventually going to reach that point where life cannot go on. Be responsible, friends.) — YUR

“Love is the irresistible desire to be irresistibly desired.” — Robert Frost
(Cute word play, but not exactly an accurate definition. Unless he’s referring to Golden Retrievers. If so, then he nailed it!) — YUR

“A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness.” — Robert Frost
(And, I always thought they all began with: There once was a man from Nantucket . . . ) — YUR 🙂
“Most of the change we think we see in life is due to truths being in and out of favor.” — Robert Frost
(It would seem, then, that many of my truths must be out of favor, because George W. Bush might as well still be POTUS, as far as I’m concerned! NOT the “Change” I was looking for! Not by a longshot.) — YUR
“Like a piece of ice on a hot stove the poem must ride on its own melting.” — Robert Frost
(I’m basically a prose guy, but even your uncle can visualize that. Happy Valentine’s Day, everybody!) — YUR
“A diplomat is a man who always remembers a woman’s birthday but never remembers her age.” — Robert Frost
(Congratulations to Ray Rice and the Baltimore Ravens, for their convincing thrashing of the New England Patriots! And, in Foxboro! 3 sacks & 3 INTs, vs. O sacks & 1 INT tells much of the story. Sorry, Pats fans. Maybe it’s time to put Bill Bellicose out to pasture. I think his karma has (finally) fully caught up with him. The kid, Edelman, is a real gamer though! Honorable mention to the Cardinals, in their O.T. win over the Packers. It’s kind of ironic that in the highest scoring playoff game of all time the game ends on a defensive touchdown. Will we see another barn-burner in New Orleans?) — YUR
