ChrisW, Hill Wife appeared in The Yale Review in 1916. Mac, welcome to the choir. I often stitich together little lyrics to try to tell a story (Hunting Time on Metrical Order being an example), and I'm fascinated by how Frost tells this story. Kate, I'm delighted to see your entirely different slant, and isn't it a mark of important poetry that diferent readers take different things away? OK, not madness, but see how layer upon layer, the paranoia builds.
I've a lilac that scratches at my window whenever the North wind blows. It's trying to get into my house!
