Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening (1923)
“I do remember that I never wanted to go to bed, to go to sleep, for fear I’d miss something.”
Source: My Heart Belongs (1976), p. 20
Context: Never, never, never can I say I had a frustrating childhood. It was all joy. Mother used to say she never had seen such a happy child — that I awakened each morning with a smile. I don’t remember that, but I do remember that I never wanted to go to bed, to go to sleep, for fear I’d miss something.
