But I have promises to keep, And miles to go before I sleep, And miles to go before I sleep." -- Robert Frost, "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening" (1923) "They cannot scare me with their empty spaces Between stars -- on stars where no human race is. I have it in me so much nearer home To scare myself with my own desert places." -- Robert Frost, "Desert Places" (1936) "The land was ours before we were the land's. She was our land more than a hundred years Before we were her people." -- Robert Frost, "The Gift Outright" (1942) "Poetry is what is lost in translation.
