Choose Something Like A Star

Submitted by David Larsson on Thu, 04/02/2009 - 10:51

... And steadfast as Keats' Eremite,
Not even stooping from its sphere,
It asks a little of us here.
It asks of us a certain height,
So when at times the mob is swayed
To carry praise or blame too far,
We may choose something like a star
To stay our minds on and be staid.

— Robert Frost
