We can make a little order where we are, and then the big sweep of history on which we can have no effect doesn't overwhelm us. we do it with colors, with a garden, with the furnishings of a room, or with sounds and words. we make a little form, and we gain composure.

We Can Make A Little Order Where

Robert Frost

We can make a little order where we are, and then the big sweep of history on which we can have no effect doesn't overwhelm us. we do it with colors, with a garden, with the furnishings of a room, or with sounds and words. we make a little form, and we gain composure.

More From Robert Frost

Inside every one of us is a garden, and every practitioner has to go back to their garden and take care of it. maybe in the past, you left in untended for a long time. you should know exactly what is going on in your own garden, and try to put everything in order. restore the beauty; restore the harmony in your garden. if it is well tended, many people will enjoy your garden.

Once in those very early days my brother brought into the nursery the lid of a biscuit tin which he had covered with moss and garnished with twigs and flowers so as to make it a toy garden or a toy forest. that was the first beauty i ever knew. what the real garden had failed to do, the toy garden did. it made me aware of nature-not, indeed, as a storehouse of forms and colors but as something cool, dewy, fresh, exuberant....as long as i live my imagination of paradise will retain something of my brother's toy garden.

If it falls your lot to be a street sweeper, sweep streets as raphael painted pictures, sweep streets as michelangelo carved marble, sweep streets as beethoven composed music, or shakespeare wrote poetry.

If, i can someday see m. claude monet's garden, i feel sure that i shall see something that is not so much a garden of flowers as of colours and tones, less an old-fashioned flower garden than a colour garden, so to speak, one that achieves an effect not entirely nature's, because it was planted so that only the flowers with matching colours will bloom at the same time, harmonized in an infinite stretch of blue or pink.

What i see is trying to make sure that everybody thinks you have more than what you actually have. what’s the point if you actually don’t have it? if you don’t have it, then you don’t have it. have what you have. enjoy that . . . the craft is everything. don’t be afraid of not being the wealthiest person in the room. be the smartest person in the room. be the slickest person in the room. be the most creative person in the room. be the most entertaining person in the room. just be in the room.

Zen is to religion what a japanese "rock garden" is to a garden. zen knows no god, no afterlife, no good and no evil, as the rock-garden knows no flowers, herbs or shrubs. it has no doctrine or holy writ: its teaching is transmitted mainly in the form of parables as ambiguous as the pebbles in the rock-garden which symbolise now a mountain, now a fleeting tiger. when a disciple asks "what is zen?", the master's traditional answer is "three pounds of flax" or "a decaying noodle" or "a toilet stick" or a whack on the pupil's head.

I have thought that wild flowers might be the alphabet of angels, — whereby they write on hills and fields mysterious truths, which it is not given our fallen nature to understand.

The etiquette business has its emergencies, heaven knows, but it is in the nature of etiquette emergencies that once one realizes what one has done, it is too late. one might as well get a good night's sleep and send flowers with an apology in the morning.

I'm a hopeless romantic, and very much the person in a relationship to go: if things are going well, i'll buy the flowers, remember the dates of things, plan fun nights out.

All nature mourns, the skies relent in showers; hushed are the birds, and closed the drooping flowers.
