A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness.

It goes on.

A flower unplucked is but left to the falling,
And nothing is gained by not gathering roses.

Age saw two quiet children
Go loving by at twilight,
He knew not whether homeward,
Or outward from the village,
Or chimes were ringing churchward,
He waited, they were strangers
Till they were out of hearing
To bid them both be happy.
'Be happy, happy, happy,
And seize the day of pleasure.'
The age-long theme is Age's.
'Twas Age imposed on poems
Their gather-roses burden
To warn against the danger
That overtaken lovers
From being overflooded
With happiness should have it.
And yet not know they have it.
But bid life seize the present?
It lives less in the present
Than in the future always,
And less in both together
Than in the past. The present
Is too much for the senses,
Too crowding, too confusing-
Too present to imagine.
~Robert Frost~

Sunsets are a symbol of one view,
When a being looks up with no clue.
Those that are simply two wings of the same bird,
Obliviously continue on without a word.

Days full of a lowest feeling,
To an evening calm, weightless, appealing.
Up until their final, beatiful, flawless hours,
Souls receive bullets and flowers.

The book itself, of course, had not changed, but perhaps I had -- not infrequently, moreover, thanks to something else I had read in the interim. And sometimes, to quote Robert Frost slightly out of context, "that has made all the difference."
-Evan Gottlieb, associate professor of English in the School of Writing, Literature, and Film at Oregon State University

It went many years but at last came a knock from the door with no lock to lock. I blew out the light and tip-toed to the floor and raised both hands in prayer to the door. but the knock came again my window was wide i climbed on the sill and desended outside. back over the sill i bade a come in to whatever the knock at the door may have been. So at a knock I emptied my cage to hide in the world and alter with age!
The lockless Door by Robert Frost!
