  • on Stopping By Woods On A Snowy Evening by Robert Frost, on September 30, 2006

    I'm sorry, I disagree

    Frost always tried to make his readers think about what he wrote. He once said that "poetry is the only permissible way to sa one thing and mean another". While yes - he is brilliant at simply describing the scenery, most of his poems also contain a deeper meaning. I'm not going to pretend that I know what he means by this poem, but considering the fats about Frost's way of writing, it'd be very unlikely that he hasn't hidden some message 'between the lines'. It's far too vague to not be so.
