A poet's point of view

[aristotle]

One of my favorite quatrains by Robert Frost:


The woods are lovely, dark and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.




(from " Stopping By Woods On A Snowy Evening" )

 

[aristotle]

And then, there's this sampling from Robert Frost:


I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I-
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.




( from "The Road Not Taken" )

I used to ride these roads
with my little dog Lisa
One day she fell out the passenger side window
and now she's just street pizza....

LRE... I see you're a fan of Edgar Allen Poe. A real sense for the macabre.

Funny you should mention that:

"We should bear in mind that, in general, it is the object of our newspapers rather to create a sensation - to make a point - than to further the cause of truth."
The Mystery of Mary Roget

What? Newspapers wouldn't resort to sensationalism. The obituary page is where I go for factual reporting.

I came in with Halley's Comet in 1835. It is coming again next year (1910), and I expect to go out with it. It will be the greatest disappointment of my life if I don't go out with Halley's Comet. The Almighty has said, no doubt: "Now here are these two unaccountable freaks; they came in together, they must go out together."

That's just because you don't have a GPS.
