Robert Frost


Robert Frost (1874 - 1963)
American Poet, professor at Amherst, Harvard, and Dartmouth (unlike all of the other material in the index, these are pointers to works in the Columbia University collection press the BACK arrow on your browser to return.)
"Sometimes I have my doubts of words altogether, and I ask myself what is the place of them. They are worse than nothing unless they do something; unless they amount to deeds, as in ultimatums or battle-cries. They must be flat and final like the show-down in poker, from which there is no appeal. My definition of poetry (if I were forced to give one) would be this: words that become deeds.""All poetry is a reproduction of the tones of actual speech.""There are two types of relists: the one who offers a good deal of dirt with his potato to show that it is a real one, and the one who is satisfied with the potato brushed clean. I'm inclined to be the second kind. To me, the thing that art does for life is to clean it, to strip it to form""A poem begins with a lump in the throat; a home-sickness or a love-sickness. It is a reaching-out toward expression; an effort to find fulfillment. A complete poem is one where an emotion has found its thought and the thought has found the words."

Newfoundland-----世界冰山首都!

紐芬蘭省(Newfoundland)位於加拿大大陸東北,並涵蓋東側的紐芬蘭島,其間以聖勞倫斯灣(Gulf of St. Lawrence)為間隔。每年拉布拉多洋流(Labrador)將北極的冰山從格陵蘭一路帶向紐芬蘭,估計一年五、六百座冰山南下,形成很壯觀的冰山景觀。

Robert Frost's Most Famous Poem Is...

STOPPING BY WOODSON A SNOWY EVENING
Whose woods these are I think I know.
His house is in the village though;
He will not see me stopping here
To watch his woods fill up with snow.
My little horse must think it queer
To stop without a farmhouse near
Between the woods and frozen lake
The darkest evening of the year.
He gives his harness bells a shake
To ask if there is some mistake.
The only other sound's the sweep
Of easy wind and downy flake.
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.

My name is Scott. I has a little fat, but I didn't sad. I think fat is a kind of good luck. Fat also means you live comfortably. To some poor country, to live comfortably is difficult to arrive. My sign star is Capricorn. Some one says Capricorns have a sense of humour. I very agree that. I think Capricorns not only humour but also kind. So that Capricorns also have more and more friends. That's why always think of good sides, that's why I always optimistic.
