For, dear me, why abandon a belief
Merely because it ceases to be true.
Cling to it long enough, and not a doubt
It will turn true again, for so it goes.
Most of the change we think we see in life
Is due to truths being in and out of favour.


'The Black Cottage' In Edward Connery Latham (ed.), The Poetry of Robert Frost (1971)
