Antonia Faccini's Reviews > Robert Frost Selected Poems

“I had not taken the first step in knowledge:
I had not learned to let go with the hands,
As still I have not learned to do with the heart,
And have no wish to with the heart— nor need
That I can see. 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.”
