I clap so that I can hold on to this feeling. I clap because I know what will happen when I stop. It’s the same thing that happens when I turn off a really good movie - one that I’ve lost myself to - which is that I’ll be thrown back to my own reality and something hollow will settle in my chest. Gayle Forman
About This Quote

This is a poem that was written by Robert Frost. It is about how he claps for joy for feeling his emotions. He is still holding on to the moment because he knows what will happen when he stops clapping. This quote has a very happy meaning to it, but it also shows how he feels important of the moment. If he were to stop clapping right now, he would be thrown back to reality and feel sad about everything that has happened.
