According to one of my prof's, this was Frost's own favorite. I wish I
could access Frost's own words on it. I think he said something along the
lines that it needs to be published along with 10 pages of his own notes
that follow it. I agree with David's assessment of suicidal nonsense
completely, by the way, but I can't help but always sense an opaqueness to
this poem and a depth I can't quite reach. Frost's work seems to me always
to be about (in part) the boundaries that delineate the world, and the pull
towards entropy that pushes those boundaries. "Stopping by the Woods" is no
exception, I think. All psuedo-scholarly b.s. aside, what a lovely thought
during an Arizona December.
Holiday blessings to all.
