Stopping at a Tim Hortons on Woods Ave on a snowy evening, I have promises to keep, and miles to go before I sleep.
Stardate: 2025.4.8 ▪️ "NOTHING GOLD CAN STAY BY ROBERT FROST"
Nature's first green is gold,
Her early leaf's a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf.
Her hardest hue to hold. So Eden sank to grief, So dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay.

The Seckel Pear tree is a couple of days away from blooming. (First blossoms last year were very early — March 31.)
The young leaves are just exiting the phase described by #RobertFrost:
“Her early leaf’s a flower;
But only so an hour.”
No refunds.

Never tear down a fence until you know why it was raised.
-- Robert Frost
I have been one acquainted with The Night Stalker.
I have walked out in rain—and back in rain.
I have outwalked the furthest city light.
New England “roaring,” literary connection.
In the poem “November,”
#RobertFrost describes an autumn rainstorm; then he has a line:
We heard " 'Tis Over" roaring.
This line might be difficult to understand without the background information, as illustrated by your photos.
Full poem in a comment. This poem is, in my opinion, an under- appreciated commentary about priorities.
Één van de bekendste gedichten van de Amerikaanse dichter Robert Frost (1874-1963) is “The road not taken”. De laatste strofe luidt:
Voor mij lagen twee wegen.
Ik koos de minst betreden.
En dat is waar het op aankomt.
Het gedicht gaat over het maken van keuzes in het leven. Kies je de weg van de minste weerstand of neem je een weg buiten de gebaande paden om en dus juist de weg van de meeste weerstand?
Ik heb meestal de weg van de meeste weerstand genomen. Waarom? Ik denk dat ik gewoon eigenzinnig ben en vooral ook wars van ieder vorm van verveling, wat voor mij synoniem is aan het nemen van door anderen gebaande paden.
Ik werd daardoor natuurlijk wel een soort Don Quichote die tegen de windmolens vocht en zuchtte soms ook, waarom het allemaal niet eens wat makkelijker kon gaan.
Ja, het kiezen van de weg van de meeste weerstand is niet de makkelijkste weg, maar wel de meest leerrijke door de ervaringen die je opdoet.
Met het klimmen der jaren, na vele leerrijke momenten en periodes en (ge)vechten, neem ik toch niet vaker de weg van de minste weerstand, maar wel steeds meer de gulden middenweg.
Dit komt met name omdat ik dit middenpad zelf heb gebaand, dus waarom zou ik moeilijk doen als het ook makkelijk kan?
De Argentijnse schrijver en dichter Roberto Juarroz (1925-1995) heeft ook nog iets treffends over de weg geschreven:
De clou van de weg
ligt niet in zijn splitsingen,
zijn verdachte begin
of zijn twijfelachtige einde,
maar in de bijtende humor
van zijn tweerichtingsverkeer.
Men komt altijd aan, maar altijd elders.

Frosty Wolves
Two wolves were fighting in my mind
And sorry I could not make them friends
To live the freedom of wolf-kind.
And thus confused I stood, resigned
To wait until their conflict ends.
One wolf, we’re told is dark despair;
The other one is hope and light.
Since yin and yang existed there
I, through reflection, became aware…
Perhaps there never was a fight?
In a false dilemma I’d been caught.
I had to purge the wolf-pretense –
A binary view that I’d been taught.
I broke my chains of polar thought
And that has made all the difference.
@cobweb As one born late in the Boom who has definitely *not* become conservative with age, I like to cite this quote from Robert Frost's poem “Ten Mills” (1936):
"PRECAUTION
I never dared be radical when young
For fear it would make me conservative when old"
I first read it when in my 20s and have tried to take it to heart.

"Ray Embarkment in Basel in the Rain" by Alexandre Benois
Style: Post-Impressionism
Accompanied by "Jardins sous la pluie - Estampes" by Claude Debussy [http://youtu.be/w-1ERRRUM-c]
[“The rain to the wind said,
'You push and I'll pelt.'
They so smote the garden bed
That the flowers actually knelt,
And lay lodged--though not dead.
I know how the flowers felt.” - Robert Frost]
