A friend of mine who studied American literature says that "Stopping..." concerns the core theme of American writing: fascination with and fear of the forest. ??? Any comments? Comments from Stephen King especially welcome. A permanent favourite (along with "The Road Not Taken").

Stick us into poetry-land where there's room for personal interpretation, and where we can display the things we'd rather not admit behind a screen of poetic license, and it's not unusual for us to find unexpected overlaps.

I thought it was too appropriate to pass up, even if <a href="http://poem-of-the-week.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">that other poetry site</a> also posted it this week. :) Personally, I'm just as interested by Frost's religious views and the way they're reflected in his poetry. He may have been a believer, at least sometimes, but I can't recall a single poem of his that depicts God as a benign force. Thanks, chaplain!
