Robert Frost Moon Quotes & Sayings

Part of a moon was falling down the west,
Dragging the whole sky with it to the hills.
Its light poured softly in her lap. She saw
And spread her apron to it. She put out her hand
Among the harp-like morning-glory strings,
Taut with the dew from garden bed to eaves,
As if she played unheard the tenderness
That wrought on him beside her in the night. — Robert Frost

The Moon for all her light and grace
Has never learned to know her place. — Robert Frost

We ran as if to meet the moon. — Robert Frost

Earth would soon
Be uninhabitable as the moon.
What for that matter had it ever been?
Who advised man to come and live therein? — Robert Frost

But give thanks, at least, that you still have Frost's poems; and when you feel the need of solitude, retreat to the companionship of moon, water, hills and trees. Retreat, he reminds us, should not be confused with escape. And take these poems along for good luck! — Robert Graves
