Robert Frost: Complete Poems, first edition, signed by FrostFROST, ROBERT.  

The Complete Poems of Robert Frost

"Sometimes I have my doubts of words altogether, and I ask myself what is the place of them. They are worse than nothing unless they do something; unless they amount to deeds, as in ultimatums or battle-cries. They must be flat and final like the show-down in poker, from which there is no appeal. My definition of poetry (if I were forced to give one) would be this: words that become deeds." -Robert Frost
