  • on Stopping By Woods On A Snowy Evening by Robert Frost, on May 13, 2007

    His house is in the village though

    My high school teacher felt that this phrase referred to a church, and thus the whole first stanza was referring to God. So, he meant God as the 'owner' of the woods, and 'His house' meant a church.

    The quiet contemplation of life and death that follows makes much more sense from this viewpoint.
