Robert Frost poem


I love "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening" in high school, and I love it now. This film makes excellent use of it.

"Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening"
Whose woods these are I think I know.
His house is in the village though;
He will not see me stopping here
To watch his woods fill up with snow.
My little horse must think it queer
To stop without a farmhouse near
Between the woods and frozen lake
The darkest evening of the year.
He gives his harness bells a shake
To ask if there is some mistake.
The only other sound's the sweep
Of easy wind and downy flake.
The woods are lovely, dark and deep.
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.


Now go out and do your business ...

Who knew that this poem could be used for such nefarious purposes?

I've been chasing grace/ But grace ain't easy to find

The power of verse works in mysterious ways!

Being pedantic, but the triggering was only complete if the man or woman's real Russian name was mentioned at the end of the poem.

"Chicken soup - with a *beep* straw."

This is true. Without the name, all you're left with is great verse!
