I have wished a bird would fly away,
And not sing by my house all day;
Have clapped my hands at him from the door
When it seemed as if I could bear no more.
The fault must partly have been in me.
The bird was not to blame for his key.
And of course there must be something wrong
In wanting to silence any song.
Robert Frost

This is Robert Frost telling of a minor bird. That is a conclusion of mine as I listen to the song of the bird itself. The bird is an animal, and not meant for flight if it does not carry a song. His beautiful language is still to me vernacular, and it is a question in the mind that is exposed, just a special and general question.
He captured our mind with a new event, a new design. |

I like Robert Frost's poems because they usually are positive, or at least end positively like this one. Frost recognized how silly it was to try and quiet a thing of beauty. ^_^ |
