There never was any heart truly great and generous, that was not also tender and compassionate.

There never was any heart truly great and generous, that was not also tender and compassionate.

Robert Frost
Kindness, Heart, Compassion
"Dictionary of Burning Words of Brilliant Writers" by Josiah Hotchkiss Gilbert, p. 578, 1895.

The mind-is not the heart. I may yet live, as I know others live, To wish in vain to let go with the mind- Of cares, at night, to sleep; but nothing tells me That I need learn to let go with the heart.

Robert Frost
Letting Go, Heart, Sleep

O hushed October morning mild, Thy leaves have ripened to the fall; Tomorrow's wind, if it be wild, Should waste them all. The crows above the forest call; Tomorrow they may form and go. O hushed October morning mild, Begin the hours of this day slow. Make the day seem to us less brief. Hearts not averse to being beguiled, Beguile us in the way you know. Release one leaf at break of day; At noon release another leaf; One from our trees, one far away.

Robert Frost
Morning, Fall, Heart

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 rued.

Ah, when to the heart of man Was it ever less than a treason To go with the drift of things, To yield with a grace to reason, And bow and accept the end Of a love or a season?

Robert Frost
Love, Heart, Acceptance
Robert Frost, Mark Richardson (2007). “The Collected Prose of Robert Frost”, p.155, Harvard University Press

The heart can think of no devotion Greater than being shore to the ocean- Holding the curve of one position, Counting an endless repetition.

Robert Frost (1963). “Selected poems”

There are three things, after all, that a poem must reach: the eye, the ear, and what we may call the heart or the mind. It is the most important of all to reach the heart of the reader.

Robert Frost
Life, Motivation, Heart
Robert Frost, Mark Richardson (2007). “The Collected Prose of Robert Frost”, p.301, Harvard University Press

Nor is there wanting in the press Some spirit to stand simply forth, Heroic in it nakedness, Against the uttermost of earth. The tale of earth's unhonored things Sounds nobler there than 'neath the sun; And the mind whirls and the heart sings, And a shout greets the daring one.

Robert Frost
Life, Heart, Mind
Robert Frost, Thomas Fasano (2008). “Selected Early Poems of Robert Frost”, p.28, Coyote Canyon Press

Courage is of the heart by derivation, And great it is. But fear is of the soul.

Robert Frost
Courage, Heart, Soul
Robert Frost (1975). “The poetry of Robert Frost”

Robert Frost
Work, Heart, Together
Robert Frost, Mark Richardson (2007). “The Collected Prose of Robert Frost”, p.214, Harvard University Press

The Armful For every parcel I stoop down to seize I lose some other off my arms and knees, And the whole pile is slipping, bottles, buns, Extremes too hard to comprehend at. once Yet nothing I should care to leave behind. With all I have to hold with hand and mind And heart, if need be, I will do my best. To keep their building balanced at my breast. I crouch down to prevent them as they fall; Then sit down in the middle of them all. I had to drop the armful in the road And try to stack them in a better load.

Robert Frost
Fall, Heart, Hands
Robert Frost (1928). “West-running Brook”, Henry Holt

Robert Frost
Heart, Abode, Heart Ache

Fireflies in the Garden By Robert Frost 1874–1963 Here come real stars to fill the upper skies, And here on earth come emulating flies, That though they never equal stars in size, (And they were never really stars at heart) Achieve at times a very star-like start. Only, of course, they can't sustain the part.

Robert Frost
Stars, Real, Heart
Robert Frost, “Fireflies In The Garden”
