Poems by Robert Frost, Part 3

We begin with "The Road Not Taken," perhaps Robert Frost's most iconic and well-known poem. All three poems this week are representative of what is most loved in his work, representing well the conversational poetic idiom that is so striking, and the natural and rural archetypes that strike the heart-strings so powerfully, and engage the intellect so deeply.

"Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening" is a hauntingly beautiful and vaguely menacing, contemplative poem. I was first introduced to this poem as a child in the Charles Bronson movie "Telefon." I know ... Charles Bronson? Really? There is no accounting for our childhood influences, but I am grateful for that influence nonetheless! I love this poem!

In "A Late Walk," less known but utterly gorgeous and evocative, we have a beautiful love song filtered through a vague unspoken sadness. Nature herself is a quiet character in the background here, and lends an atmosphere of pensive thoughtfulness.
