Frases de Robert Lee Frost página 8

“Alguns dizem que o mundo vai acabar em fogo, / Alguns dizem em gelo. / Pelo meu desejo / Eu retenho aqueles que favorecem o fogo. / Mas se tivesse que perecer duas vezes, / Eu acho que sei o suficiente de ódio / Dizer que a destruição de gelo / Também é grande / E seria suficiente.”

Robert Lee Frost: Frases em inglês

“He would declare and could himself believe
That the birds there in all the garden round
From having heard the daylong voice of Eve
Had added to their own an oversound,
Her tone of meaning but without the words.”

Preface to A Way Out : A One-act Play (1929)
1920s

“There was never a sound beside the wood but one,
And that was my long scythe whispering to the ground.”

“And be all plunderers curst.
'The best way to hate is the worst.
'Tis to find what the hated need,
Never mind of what actual worth,
And wipe that out of the earth.
Let them die of unsatisfied greed,
Of unsatisfied love of display,
Of unsatisfied love of the high,
Unvulgar, unsoiled, and ideal.
Let their trappings be taken away.
Let them suffer starvation and die
Of being brought down to the real.”

With the slow smokeless burning of decay.”

By countless silken ties of love and thought
To every thing on earth the compass round,
And only by one's going slightly taut
In the capriciousness of summer air
Is of the slightest bondage made aware.”

We heard the miniature thunder where he fled,
And we saw him, or thought we saw him, dim and gray,
Like a shadow across instead of behind the flakes.”

To the dark house after so long an absence,
And the key rattled loudly into place
Seemed to warn someone to be getting out
At one door as we entered at another.”

“Colonial had been the thing to be
As long as the great issue was to see
What country'd be the one to dominate
By character, by tongue, by native trait,
The new world Christopher Columbus found.
The French, the Spanish, and the Dutch were downed
And counted out. Heroic deeds were done.
Elizabeth the First and England won.
Now came on a new order of the ages
That in the Latin of our founding sages
(Is it not written on the dollar bill
We carry in our purse and pocket still?)”

Were really as dark as I hear sages tell,

“God nodded his approval of as good.
So much those heroes knew and understood,
I mean the great four, Washington,

So much they saw as consecrated seers

They would bring empires down about our ears
And by the example of our Declaration
Make everybody want to be a nation.”

Man's practically inexterminate.
Someday I must go into that.

Where someone someone else begat
To start the world all over at.”

“You've often heard me say – perhaps too often – that poetry is what is lost in translation. It is also what is lost in interpretation. That little poem means just what it says and it says what it means, nothing less but nothing more.”

“No memory of having starred
Atones for later disregard,
Or keeps the end from being hard.

With boughten friendship at your side
Than none at all. Provide, provide!”

Toward heaven still.
