Great insights! Thanks for sharing this poem. The poem and your commentary/analysis really put into perspective how much of a negative impact we can have when we are motivated by such destructive forces. I really appreciate it when poets tell the truth in an almost prophetic way. I think this is what draws me to many poets. They tell the truth, boldly, to a world that often hides from it. I felt this way when I recently read one of Mary Oliver's essays, when she talks about redeeming the world from the lords of profit. It was profound, true, and also sad.

THIS IS AMAZING. Robert Frost is my favorite poet and I love reading people’s thoughts on him. This poem is beautiful, I’d love to read more of your thoughts on him!
