From what I’ve tasted of desire

I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice

After that thought, let's get back to racing. Who do you like in the Sword Dancer?

I don't think I ever read that poem. Although my memory is not so great these days. I did read his poem about the road not taken and I remember another one about walls making good neighbors. When I took my first college course, it was Freshman English at the State University of New York at Buffalo. It was at night because I was in the Air Force by day. My teacher claimed to have had Robert Frost as his professor.
