The Famous Stuff
I think alot of people get introduced to Robert Frost early on. I know I did. It’s at school. Or in life somewhere. It’s in one of the more famous movies: “The Outsiders”. But it was a BOOK first. The author, S.E. Hinton, includes this Frost poem in her book. It’s a main theme. Keep in mind, Ms. Hinton, was 17 when she wrote the book. I have always been in awe of that skill. So this is my first of the famous:
Nothing Gold Can Stay by Robert Frost
Nature’s first green is gold,
her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf’s a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay.
