What quote best suggests my personality?
not a quote really, but some lyrics to a song that have always touched me. Lily was a two time loser Who said that love was just a roll of the dice She acted real tough, said once ain't enough For me I learned my lesson twice But deep in her heart lived a young girl Dreamin' a young girl's dream And that young girl was who Eddie ran into Over by the slot machines Her face was a little pale Her dress was a little thin Oh but lookin' at her was like Watchin' his ship come in Well, he bought her a cup of coffee With the quarters he meant to play They went for a bite and they talked all night 'Til they said what they needed to say Then they found 'em an all night chapel With a heart shaped honeymoon suite And somewhere tonight in the neon light Two hearts can't be beat And he's singin' a little song She's grinnin' a little grin And they're holdin' each other Watchin' their ship to come in |

Birches
BY ROBERT FROST When I see birches bend to left and right Across the lines of straighter darker trees, I like to think some boy's been swinging them. But swinging doesn't bend them down to stay As ice-storms do. Often you must have seen them Loaded with ice a sunny winter morning After a rain. They click upon themselves As the breeze rises, and turn many-colored As the stir cracks and crazes their enamel. Soon the sun's warmth makes them shed crystal shells Shattering and avalanching on the snow-crust- Such heaps of broken glass to sweep away You'd think the inner dome of heaven had fallen. They are dragged to the withered bracken by the load, And they seem not to break; though once they are bowed So low for long, they never right themselves: You may see their trunks arching in the woods Years afterwards, trailing their leaves on the ground Like girls on hands and knees that throw their hair Before them over their heads to dry in the sun. But I was going to say when Truth broke in With all her matter-of-fact about the ice-storm I should prefer to have some boy bend them As he went out and in to fetch the cows- Some boy too far from town to learn baseball, Whose only play was what he found himself, Summer or winter, and could play alone. One by one he subdued his father's trees By riding them down over and over again Until he took the stiffness out of them, And not one but hung limp, not one was left For him to conquer. He learned all there was To learn about not launching out too soon And so not carrying the tree away Clear to the ground. He always kept his poise To the top branches, climbing carefully With the same pains you use to fill a cup Up to the brim, and even above the brim. Then he flung outward, feet first, with a swish, Kicking his way down through the air to the ground. So was I once myself a swinger of birches. And so I dream of going back to be. It's when I'm weary of considerations, And life is too much like a pathless wood Where your face burns and tickles with the cobwebs Broken across it, and one eye is weeping From a twig's having lashed across it open. I'd like to get away from earth awhile And then come back to it and begin over. May no fate willfully misunderstand me And half grant what I wish and snatch me away Not to return. Earth's the right place for love: I don't know where it's likely to go better. I'd like to go by climbing a birch tree, And climb black branches up a snow-white trunk Toward heaven, till the tree could bear no more, But dipped its top and set me down again. That would be good both going and coming back. One could do worse than be a swinger of birches. |

thanks Leigh. I really did not want to post the entire poem tho. Just that one last line.
There are actually many of Frost's poems that I would cite from as he is my favorite poet. I love the outdoors and the outdoors in winter. |
