“Earth is the right place for love.”

Robert Frost The quote is from the poem, ‘Birches’ by Robert Frost, the American poet. Birch swinging is an enjoyable pastime. In times of our distress, we take resort to some pastime to forget our worries. Whatever pastime we indulge in, we should get back to this Earth. We will have to face the real- ities of the Earth. Earth is the right place for love and hence the right place to live in. There is no other better place than the Earth.
