Show BOND AND FREE By Robert Frost. Love has earth to which she clings With hills and circling arms about Wall within wall to shut fear out. But Thought has need of no such, things, For Thought has a pair of dauntless wings. On snow and sand and turf, I see Where Love has left a printed, trace With straining in the world's embrace. And such is Love and glad to bo But Thought has shaken his ankles free. Thought cleaves the interstellar gloom And sits in Sirius' disc all night, Till day makes him retrace hisf flight, With smell of burning on every plume, Back past the sun to an earthly room. His gains in heaven are what they are. Yet some say Love, iby being thrall And simply staying, possesses all In several beauty that Thought fares far To find fused in another star. From "Mountain Interval." |
