Bravely Making "Music"

' "Quarrelsome? Certainly - and not with men alone but gods. Tangled in misery? More than most men. But despairing? No. Defeated by the certainty of death? Never defeated. Frightened of the dreadful wood? Not frightened either. A rebellious, brave, magnificent far-wandering old man who made his finest music out of manhood and met the Furies on their own dark ground."

- Archibald MacLeish speaking at the Presidential Convocation and Ground Breaking for the Robert Frost Library at Amherst on October 26, 1963'

I like this portrait of Robert Frost.
This quote is from the magnificent book: Robert Frost, A Pictorial Chronicle, by Kathleen Morrison, 1974.


"In three words I can sum up everything I have learned about life: it goes on."
Robert Frost
