And vexes me for reason why.”

“I’d like to get away from earth awhile
And then come back to it and begin over.
May no fate willfully misunderstand me
And half grant what I wish and snatch me away
Not to return. Earth’s the right place for love:
I don’t know where it’s likely to go better.”
— Robert Frost, Birches

“Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.
From what I’ve tasted of desire

But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice.”
— Robert Frost, Fire and Ice

I shall make the reckless choice
Some day when they are in voice
And tossing so as to scare
The white clouds over them on.

But I shall be gone.”
