Frases de Robert Frost

Fuego y hielo Unos dicen que el mundo terminará en fuego, unos dicen que en hielo. Por lo que he probado del deseo, estoy con los partidarios del fuego. Pero si tuviera que perecer dos veces, creo conocer lo suficiente del odio como para decir para en la destrucción el hielo también es poderoso. Y bastaría.

The rain to the wind said, ‘You push, and I’ll pelt.’ They so smote the garden bed, that the flowers actually knelt, And lay lodged; though not dead. I know how the flowers felt.

Love and a question A stranger came to the door at eve, And he spoke the bridegroom fair. He bore a green-white stick in his hand, And, for all burden, care. He asked with the eyes more than the lips For a shelter for the night, And he turned and looked at the road afar Without a window light. The bridegroom came forth into the porch With, “Let us look at the sky, And question what of the night to be, Stranger, you and I.” The woodbine leaves littered the yard, The woodbine berries were blue, Autumn, yes, winter was in the wind; “Stranger, I wish I knew.” Within, the bride in the dusk alone Bent over the open fire, Her face rose-red with the glowing coal And the thought of the heart’s desire. The bridegroom looked at the weary road, Yet saw but her within, And wished her heart in a case of gold And pinned with a silver pin. The bridegroom thought it little to give A dole of bread, a purse, A heartfelt prayer for the poor of God, Or for the rich a curse; But whether or not a man was asked To mar the love of two by harboring woe in the bridal house, The bridegroom wished he knew.

The way a crow Shook down on me The dust of snow From a hemlock tree Has given my heart A change of mood And saved some part Of a day I had ruined.
