Quote of Tim Murphy---Don't you people realize that this is Part V of THE HILL WIFE and that you're discussing as it were--the closing couplet of a sonnet without having ever encountered the poem. At least ewrgall has the wit to say it reminds him of another Frost poem as indeed it should, that being Part II, House Fear.
Small praise Is better than no praise at all, isn't it??
Quote of Caleb Murdock---Ewrgall, you read too much into the poem. It has nothing to do with marriage or divorce -- there's no indication that the woman is unhappy with the marriage. Nor is it about farm living. I read it as being about fate, about chance, about the unexpected, about the forces we can't control. Get thee to a marriage counselor, and don't read your problems into Frost's poems!
You are disagreeing with a man who has just received small praise from Tim Murphy? My views are correct. Yours are ridiculous. It sounds like something Helen Vendler would say. Get thee to The Amazing Randi and have your mysticism debunked.
