Robert Frost reads “Mending Wall” | Powerful Life Poetry | Remastered

[@natewindsor8693]

One of my favorite poems and this is the best reading I‘ve heard. The ingenuity of making the lines appear simple while the underlying metaphor resonates with us all…Frost again returns to nature and applies his touch of genius. Loved it. Thank you

Thanks for listening!

Aside from the underlying metaphorical meaning, I just enjoy the poem's nostalgic effect of going back to my rural youth and climbing over broken dry stone walls in abandoned pastures. It always made me wonder, who lived there and where did they go?

Complex piece of philosophy. We need barriers and at the same time we don't need them.

Many of Frost's poems focus on the individual in society. I always likened "Mending Wall" to "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock" in the distancing and masking of ones true identity that must take place in order to relate to others. Both poems bring this idea from the unconscious to the conscious mind of the narrator.

J. Alfred Prufrock was written by T.S. Elliot

Its message is always evolving as I age each year.

Allegorically, Frost seems to be sitting on the fence regarding the necessity of walls.

I’m sure he’d take “offense” to this quip. 💀

One of my favorite poems 💚

A simple poem about fixing an old farm wall that has been destroyed over the winter? Or a poem about the many circumstances, good and bad, that seperate and connect us to others.

Frost said, "When I wrote that poem only God and I knew the meaning - Now only god knows!"

[@justshanestuff]

For anybody that is curious about this quote, Frost probably didn't say it, and if he did, he stole the saying from somebody else

[@jakebastian6726]

I have a question about Frost's poem "Home Burial" if anyone understands it

Frost is a fine reader. Poetry should not be read by an actor -- that is, performed -- and usually is best read by its creator.
